Default Docking Situation #11

Here is a complicated docking situation that will require
a bit of thought.

Your house and starter batteries are dead. As a result
you are unable to start your engine. You have a 15'
shore power cable, and this means you must not only
sail into your slip, but also want to back into your slip so
your charger can restore your batteries.

The dock is a long dock with no finger-piers-only pilings
on each side of every slip. None of the other boats stick
out past the pilings. Your slip is just wide enough to fit
your boat.

The wind is moderately strong and onto the dock and in
line with your slip--the worst possible direction. Your boat
is a Catalina 30 and you have two (2) crew to help you.

You have only one shot at getting it in right. After deciding
to sail into the slip directly downwind under bare poles, all
of a sudden a light goes on in your brain and you figure out
a safe way to get the boat into the slip, stern in, without
using an anchor.

How did you do it?
