Dock Lines (Spinoff from Labeling Lines)
Out my way, most boaters berth bow-in.* One nearby exception does it "backwards."* It is interesting watching the helmsman and three assistants spend five minutes doing it that way.* No yelling or bumps, but I never saw the benefit.
I prefer going in bow first, with the berth toward windward.* The breeze slows me down coming in, and can mostly drift going out.
