Default Docking Situation Question #4

Turn to the helm so the boat goes to starboard, short forward thrust, bow
moves starboard, then a neutral pause, then reverse gear, stern turns to
port, as soon as you're moving back neutral, then repeat from beginning. AKA
back and fill.

You are motoring into a guest slip at a strange dock,
in a 34' Catalina with diesel auxiliary. You realize
someone has taken your guest berth and there are no
others available. The fairway is 40' wide.

What is the procedure for turning around without
outside assistance. [Assume Right Hand Prop]
