Ive made mistakes, the best one was in moores basin (when it was moores) i had reveresed in to stern moor, the wife stepped a shore with a rope and as soon as she was off I followed her from the helm with the other rope, we soon noticed that the boat was not letting us pull it to shore as intended and felt rather heavy......I had left it in Gear! Still, no harm done and lesson learned!!
The thing in all of this is you wouldnt go camping and expect someone to drive over your tent, kick your dog and pee in your bbq......
