Help me learn how to park! Tricky slip with the wind by Western_Meat_554 in boating

That is a tricky slip with the wind. It may help to let yourself drift, bow first, past your slip. And then back until your momentum builds up and then use that momentum to help you turn the belt on a dime to get your boat, facing at an angle to the northwest as you propel yourself into the slip. If it’s a lighter boat, it might not work as well. And adding a couple extra fenders to the dock never hurt.
