Not a guru, but I've had lessons from them and continue to get them. In bareboat sailing school in the BVIs each of the two students had about eight practice dockings per day - wind on the dock, wind off the dock, wind across the finger piers and pilings, maneuvering restricted, depth restricted... with a great instructor. Practice taught me to be ready for anything. I still get anxious and take it very slow.
