BTW, I forgot to mention:

When handling a boat, there's a Right Way, a Wrong Way, and Your Way.

For the vast majority of boat handlers, they have a specific boat that
they handle at (generally) specific locations, under specific
conditions, and they learn a way to handle this boat, that works for
them under those conditions.
The point being, most of us don't get to do too many dockings or
undockings during a short season, so that we have to rely on what we
experience for our particular boat and conditions.
There is nothing wrong with this. The BEST way to handle your boat, is
the way which works best for you...... my comments just tend to delve
deeper into the subject.
