Quite true ! and as was said before, do not approach anything (a dock) at a speed greater than what you wish to HIT it.
Clearly if you have a private dock - this is the ideal spot to practice in varying conditions. But should you be in a Marina and not wish to be a spectacle nor have 5 other "dock Captains" giving you conflicting advice while your embarrassed to hell …………. I use to take my grand daughter (14 yr/old) over to Center Harbor public docks - mid week - to practice. Another spot is Weirs Public dock...…. but they are essentially "straight In" approach whereas Center Harbor gives you some variety.
