That should be illegal. Coming back from the Bahamas at a marina by Sebastian inlet, I was given a slip next to someone who did this making it impossible to throw a line over the piling. Boat wound up wedged sideways slamming into the dock in high wind. The hull had just been painted along with the bottom. Yes I had superficial damage.
It's their home marina, not a transient slip, their slip isn't ever given to transients, they (and their immediate neighbors) have pre-tied/measured dock lines in place, etc, etc, etc.
