Singlehanded, I go down the fairway between the boats in reverse, rotate the stern to starboard and bow to port to line up with the slip and achieve a reasonable angle of entry to the slip. I use propwalk to execute the turn. I have two other videos where I show the "dock view" and the "masthead view" of this procedure. It was quite intimidating to learn, and I practiced a lot in an area of the marina where there were no other boats. The reward was large, however -- this tactic has reduced the stress of docking in this slip singlehanded considerably.
