When casting off from a dock with the wind blowing toward it, you should first release the lines that are holding the bow of the boat to the dock. This allows the bow to swing away from the dock, preventing the boat from being pushed back against it. Afterward, you can release the stern line, ensuring the boat is free to maneuver away from the dock smoothly. Always ensure that the area is clear and that you have a plan for handling the boat as it departs.
