Single handed in locks - how to use bow line?

[pamc2205]

My first post in the forum so bare with me as a newbie. I've lived aboard for a year but my partner has always monopolised all of the steering on his weekly visits to the boat & as a result my confidence has shrunk to zero. We parted company this week & I have no choice but to move the boat alone within the next 2 days before winter stoppages block me in where I am.

I'm fairly confident with doing locks as crew but worried sick about attempting the whole thing alone, especially as I can't see how I can use ladders in locks to get on/off as I have 4 large solar panels covering the rear of the roof.

Any tips please?

Thanks
