How should you approach the dock when the wind is pushing you away from dock?

When approaching a dock with the wind pushing you away, angle the boat towards the dock at a slight offset to counter the wind's force. Use reverse gear to slow your approach and maintain control, allowing you to pivot the bow into the wind as you near the dock. Once close, use fenders to protect the boat and prepare to secure lines quickly. It's essential to communicate with any crew members to ensure a smooth docking process.
