I'd tie it up very tight along side. I stayed at Leeward a good bit in Black Sound at Green Turtle. I'd stop about a half mile out in Sea of Abaco and bring the Scout along side and tie it up tight on my outboard side. Then just motor slowly into the sound and to the "tee dock". The entrance to the sound is very tight and the first time I did it the "pucker factor" was very high but, it was a piece of cake..... probably traveled in and out of there half dozen times single handed. I used the same setup for dropping and pulling the anchor. Then when you get out into the clear just maintain a little bit of forward momentum and ease her off the side and drop her back to tow length.
