Default How to reduce rocking?

You could do what cruisers do to reduce rocking when anchoring/mooring...

Get a bucket, tie it on the end of your boom and hike the boom out as far as
possible. Let the bucket be submerged. This will dampen the effects of the
rocking motion. Of course, you have to be mindful of the boom sticking out
in the slip area and into someone else's space or onto the walkway, but it
might be worth trying. If you put the bucket on a long enough line, you
wouldn't have to worry about it hitting the side of the boat.

I moved to a different dock to get a better view of the lake.
Now I get a better feel for it too. The waves come right down
between the docks and catch us in the side, creating a lot
of rocking from side to side. Are there any good ways of
reducing this action?
