Beautiful work, I've been boating my entire life but learned a ton just watching this 3 min video. I always tell people docking is the hardest part of maneuvering a boat.

That was a good job. Slow and anticipate! I have never had the opportunity to dock a boat like this, but I hope to soon. It seems to me that slow (patience) is the key and react before your position becomes critical.
