How should you approach a dock when the wind or current is pushing you away from the dock?

If the wind is offshore (blowing away from the dock), one should carefully approach the dock at a 20 to 30 degree angle. A bow line is then passed ashore and secured. In boats having an outboard, or inboard/outboard engine, the engine is turned towards the dock and put in reverse. This invariably will bring the stern into the dock.

before we can answer, we have to see the choices that are printed there with the question.   that's the only way we can point you to the correct one.
