That works if there is a side tie available. I have been to lots of places where that is not the case. I also have been to plenty of fuel docks where there isn't really enough room to have a tender tied to the side. (Thinking of Narrows Marina in Day Island or Breakwater at Pt. Defiance when it was still in operation.)
