eyschulman,
<<<Spring line is the next step and what a working water-man without a thruster would do to combat adverse wind.>>>

What is a water-man?

I've thought about a spring line. Tied to departure dock (A) at stern starboard point, then when half way around, switch it to stern port side? What do you think.

====
Goal is to get from boat A to boat C. However I have trouble getting to boat B because the wind will blow the bow back. And to make the turn I need more forward authority to turn which puts me into shallow water.

Prop walk is to port but I can't turn to starboard because the prop will hit bottom when opposite the docks. (If B were turned around, the prop and rudder would be hitting bottom.)

It's a tough maneuver with wind, and appreciate the tips.
