This is great advice. For myself, docking in windy situations can be nerve racking. The old adage is to only dock as fast as your willing to hit the pier, and for me this means slow as hell.

I always let guests know exactly what I want them to do, and to your point, it's mainly to sit tight and let me focus.

Wind, current, tides, your own boat at risk as well as other people's boats alongside... docking can certainly get the heart pumping.
