That passenger is not much help at all; I would have stepped onto the dock with stern rope in hand, and guide it backward to a stop n dock. useless !

Why wouldn't you already have fenders hanging from both sides of the boat "before" you start the docking procedure???

These video's are great, BUT...why can't we see demonstration a little more real world. Like 10-13 mph winds...maybe a little water current. This demonstration is in optimal conditions, so it's not really hard with 2 engines.

The technique in the live action isn't the same as the one illustrated in captkathie's diagrams at the start of the video. There is no attempt to align the "corner" of the stern with the dock - as she advocates in the diagrams! The "linehandler" crewman - with no lifejacket - makes a dangerously wide stride ashore but has no line in his hand! If he's "crucial" to the docking procedure then however does captkathie manage when she is singlehanded?
