To cast off when the wind or current is moving away from the dock, first ensure that your lines are clear and ready to release. Use a fender to protect the boat from the dock as you pivot away, and have your crew on hand to assist. Start the engine and gently maneuver the bow into the wind or current direction, allowing the boat to naturally move away from the dock. Once clear, you can safely adjust your heading and proceed.
When casting off with the wind or current moving away from the dock, it's best to position the boat at a slight angle to the dock. Start by casting off the bow lines first, allowing the wind or current to push the bow away from the dock. Then, release the stern line and use the engine to gently maneuver the boat away, ensuring you have enough space to steer clear of any obstacles. Always maintain control and be aware of your surroundings as you depart.
When casting off with the wind direction blowing away from the dock, the best approach is to use the wind to your advantage. Start by untie the boat and let it drift slightly away from the dock while keeping control with fenders or lines. Use the engine to steer the bow into the wind as you back away, allowing the wind to push the stern out. Once clear, you can turn the boat into the desired direction and proceed safely.
Changing the heading of the boat towards the direction the wind is coming from is called:Heading Up Turning the boat away from the wind direction is called:Bearing Away or Falling Off If the front turns through the direction the wind is coming from, it is called:Tacking or Coming About If the back of the boat turns through the direction the wind is coming from, it is called:Jibing
Cast off all lines. Keep the boat clear of the dock. Shift into forward gear and slowly leave the area.

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.

When you jump out of a boat, the boat typically moves backward. This is due to the principle of conservation of momentum: as you push off from the boat in one direction, the boat moves in the opposite direction. The force exerted by your jump creates an equal and opposite reaction on the boat, causing it to move away from you.
If the current is holding your boat against the dock, you should cast off the line that is securing the bow (front) of the boat to the dock. This will allow the stern (back) of the boat to swing away from the dock as the current pushes the bow outward. Once the bow is free, you can maneuver the boat away from the dock more easily. Always ensure to keep an eye on your surroundings and be ready to adjust as needed.
