RE: Dock Lines (Spinoff from Labeling Lines)
We set up bow in since we tow the dink. For us- we always use the same routine. I ease in the slip and Patricia secures the springline first so that we won't hit the bow on the pier. Jump on the pier and then bow lines, another springline pulling forward and then the stern lines.
When leaving we study the wind direction on the sailboat masts and determine which line to release last.
