When approaching a dock with wind or current pushing you away, first reduce your speed to maintain control. Angle your boat into the wind or current to create a stable approach, using reverse thrust as necessary to adjust your position. Fenders should be deployed to protect your boat and the dock. Lastly, coordinate with a crew member on the dock to assist with lines when you're close enough.
