Just my $0.02 ...
I don't sweat it on what fraction of a day I spend at the dock. We make a deal for the whole trip. We arrive, and the sun and fun begins... even if we're tied up to the dock for the first night. A first night aboard at the dock gives you time to decompress, a dinner ashore on a hard travel day, plenty of quality time to get to know the boat, and makes it very easy to get off the dock early the next day.
