I agree, be sure to dock on the side of the prop walk. The Eagle prop walk is to port so we try to dock on the port side and when maneuvering to turn to starboard. If we have a starboard tie and have to maneuver to port that is where the bow thruster, plenty of funders and lines come in handy. Its like using the wind/current to your advantage or disadvantage?

Actually, the best is to call and beg/plead for dock help, so when you get there you toss them a line and they pull you in. Works for me!
