I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever find myself in a position to buy waterfront in retirement.
I can see how it could get real tricky, and cant imagine how much a new boater would struggle with that.
I'm sure there are some tricks of the trade, but I can see how it might take a bit of practice to become comfortable with it.

My trick of the trade is my "o-sh**" rope. It's tied to bow and stearn cleats with 20 feet of slack tucked into the rear seat. If it's rough you get the nose of the boat to the dock, jump off and use the rope to haul the boat in.
