docking blues with twins

Great pics, but I'm not even close to that league! In our current set up, we have a fairly narrow fairway with lots of boats extending beyond their slips with their engines [ok, I do too]. In order to enter the slip I have to make a sharp right hand turn [docking on the starbord side]. Thus, while I can dock reasonably easily coming straight in, the turn has caused some difficulty, especially since the prevailing wind forces me from the dock. BUT, all the tips here have helped. I'm getting more confident that I can make the turn and head into the dock. All I need to do is get reasonably close to the dock. I have lines from bow and stern cleats ready in the cockpit. I can simply step off and tie to the dock cleats to fix both ends of the boat.
