Lemme see if I can make it clearer.
Single handed, secure one end of the spring line to the boat. Toss the spring line over the dock cleat, pull the line tight and secure it back on the boat. Clear?
Unless you are adept at lassoing a piling (I am not), move the bow or stern, throw the line around the piling, capture the other the other end and cleat it off.
BUT, if you are doing well with your method of docking and handling lines single handed, don’t listen to me. You have the procedure down.
