The prevalent wind at my dock always pushes me away from the finger and into the slip. Your wind sounds way stronger, though.
Prior to casting-off I'd set lines to hold the vessel that one person could release at one point from the swim platform, that I could augment w/ thrust from the helm to hold position.
So, in your situation, a spring line from the middle of the finger to the swim platform cleat and a short "cheater" line from that same cleat to the nearby dock will permit the port engine in reverse to hold the boat position once the bow line is cast off.
Then the assistant could release those two lines at one location and you'd start out in a decent position.
Upon return, snag that same spring and have a line aboard to hold the rear against the finger.
The port transmission in reverse will hold the bow against the finger until the bow line is secured.
Maybe I don't understand the OP, because the other replies don't make any sense.
Chris R should please correct me if my understanding of the conditions or objectives are wrong.
My understanding of the OP is the desire for the boat to remain stationary until the lines are cast free. Also, the desire for this to be a two-person operation, one at the helm and one on the lines, without running around the boat and leaping back and forth from the dock.
The attached image depicts my read on the conditions, the vessel tied to the finger on the port side and a stiff wind pushing the boat away from the finger.
So, for the boat to remain stationary with a stiff wind as shown and lines to be cast off in one location, then a spring is required from the finger, F2, to either the rear side cleat, P3, or the swim platform cleat, AP.
Also, a “cheater” line is required from the finger, F3, to the swim platform, AP.
Then, once the bow line, F1 to P1, is released the port engine is put in reverse w/ sufficient force to hold the bow against the dock.
Now the boat will remain stationary with only two lines to be cast off from one location.
Not to pick on anyone, my hands-down favorite suggestion / reply was to ease the lines so the boat starts out in the empty slip.
The forum is messing up again, splitting my single post into two, regardless of all efforts for it to properly display as one.
