If the current is holding the boat against the dock, the last line you should cast off is the bow line. This ensures that the boat remains stable and secured at the stern until you are ready to maneuver away from the dock, allowing for better control as you depart. Casting off the bow line last helps prevent the boat from being pushed sideways or away from the dock by the current.
