If the wind has you pinned against the dock, you won't
realize enough kick to
get the stern free.

Take a spring from bow to shore. Put lots of fenders up
front. Apply full helm towards the shore. Slowly add power.
The stern will walk away from the shore until you can back
off from the quay in comfort.

As Jere said earlier, 'Kick Ass'.
