Task · part of 7. On the water with a companion: launching, landing, positions, swapping
7(a). Carry and launch: from a dock and from shore if you can manage both
Required Often forgotten
The requirement asks for both where both are possible, so choose a site that offers a dock as well as a bank.
Notes and warnings
Note. A dock and a shore, where the site offers both. Worth choosing the water accordingly: a site with only one of them cannot give you the whole requirement.
