I have a nice long spring line which is run back to the stern; I do my best to place the stern against the dock. The deck hand steps ashore in a dignified manner and ties the spring at the stern. If there is any issue with tide or current, I put it in gear with the rudder over and the thrust pins her to the dock. Next is the stern line and a leisurely walk to the bow to tie off the bowline.
