On The Lean

It's my understanding that sailors enjoy being “on the lean” because that means they've got a real good wind pushing them along at a relatively fast pace. When we awoke this morning we were on a lean while tied to the dock, hum. The first thing I did was to check the dock lines, all had slack, hum. The only other thing it could be is that the water tanks are out of balance. Overtime has two 150 gallon water tanks, one on each side of the boat, when one is full and the other is nearing empty we will lean; however we've never leaned as severe as now. Okay, so I pull out the hose and start filling the port side tank, however, ten minutes later we are still leaning just as severe. So now I'm scratching my head and pulling hatches looking for any clue as to what's wrong but everything looks good. I decided to recheck the lines and as I stepped off the boat I noticed there was no motion, usually, the boat reacts by moving slightly. It was still dark out and as I shined my flashlight along the waterline I discovered the problem. The posts along the dock have slatted half-inch wood strips running vertically to help protect the post or maybe just for looks, but they don't go all the way down to the water. During the night the lip on the side of Overtime slipped under the slats on one of the posts, then as the tide rose we began to lean. We are at high tide now so we'll just wait a little while and maybe ask some folks to stand on the side so we can get her free. Luckily there's very little tide swing at this location.
