Take things slow so you aren’t the show.

I have a 44ft sailboat. Docking is not easy. People do not realize how difficult it can be

Try docking a sailboat on a river. Then slow isn’t an option, since the current will sweep you away in a heartbeat. The key here is planning ahead, including a plan for what to do when you don’t get it right. And you won’t, on the first couple of attempts. I’ve seen it in action, totally hair raising to watch.

This is one of those situations where I know I will not be good enough often enough, I will totally warp in. River currents are hard.

Given how hard I find docking my 16-foot bowrider if there’s more than a light breeze, I can only imagine.
