So what's the big deal? That's pretty much how I dock Xan most of the
time, though I have a port-pulling prop when backing so I'd have
mirror-imaged his docking.

Better to say you have a right hand prop, Capt Ron had a LH.

A Captain Ron landing is as you say easy if everything is working
correctly. I would suggest you test your boats transmission 1/4 mile
from the dock and make sure she shifts correctly, and the prop nut is
still in place. Notice in the film they added tranny grinding noises.

Know your boat. Use it's strengths.
