is the fairway really that narrow that coming in forward won't work? come
in the fairway forward, approaching your space get the bow in around the
midle to get a spring line from the bow, which will allow you to complete
the turn and bring the stern in within little more than a boat length
if the fairway is too narrow, then bringing the stern in first as if paralel
parking will be the only option. get a spring line from the stern (close to
the dock) and use it to swing the bow in (reverse engine close to dock, fwd
on engine away from dock)
in close quarters and tricky situations, spring lines are your best friends
and will be a very good substitute for a bow thruster...
