Docking Situation Question #2

wrote:
How do you sail off a dock when the wind is on
the bow? [Assume an end-tie situation] 1 pt.

Release painter. (How many know what that is?) Walk on dock towards
stern. Grab mainsheet near the end of boom and pull in so boat pivots
away from dock, keep stern in close. Ask novice passengers already
onboard if they want you to come along. Casually step over stern to
take helm. Slip and land on tiller, breaking it in half.

Alternate ending: realize you forgot to ship the rudder.
