When preparing to dock in conditions where wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock, you should secure the bow line first. This helps to stabilize the boat and prevent it from drifting further away from the dock. Once the bow is secured, you can then secure the stern line to complete the docking process.
The spring line should be secured first. This is the line secured to the forward portion of the craft, leading aft. This way, you can use a little forward thrust to keep the craft close to the dock while you secure the stern line and then the bow line.
