Aopel, I agree with Woodsy. Just because you can tie a boat knot doesn't mean you know how to position a boat correctly on the dock posts, with appropriate tension on the lines, such that damage won't occur. Especially someone else's boat. If the stern slips by a post and starts rubbing a concrete dock or worse yet slips under the dock, as in Woody case, severe damage can occur. Better not to touch what is not yours to touch.
