I think it is wrong to touch anyone else's boat, and do not want anyone touching mine.
The only time I've done that was a circumstance with no choice - docked at the Weirs, 2/3 of the way in. Spend many enjoyable hours with the family. Came back, and the two boats at the ends of the adjacent docks were so wide, there was no room for us to get out.
We waited for a little while, trying to be obvious in looking around, etc., hoping one of the owners was nearby and would come let us out. No luck. So I untied and moved one out while my wife pulled our boat out.
We didn't like doing it, felt very incomfortable doing, but there was no alternative.
