How do you leave dock with current pushing you agenst it?

To leave the dock with the current pushing against you, first assess the current's strength and direction. Start by using your engine to create thrust away from the dock while simultaneously steering the boat at an angle toward the current, allowing it to push you off the dock. If possible, use fenders to protect the boat from the dock as you maneuver. Once free, steer into the current to gain control and head in your desired direction.

Your spring line (forward leading aft). Then your stern line, then the bow line. However it is always recommended if possible to make your approach, bow into the current to give your boat more maneuverability.
