I've backed into my slip in C dock at LLM, agreed it's easier to load/unload, but then you have to make a 3 point turn to get out. Too tight between B and C docks.
I do back into most docks, find it is usually easier when you leave. Also puts the bow into the wave action coming off the lake.

Thanks,
