I've done it hundreds of times. It's not a big deal, just pay attention; don't allow passengers to fool around; have fun.
A couple suggestions:
- Use old fenders: slime and muck on the walls will stain stuff
Use old lines: same thing . . . make sure your lines are ready to go when you enter the lock.
You're not "tying up." You're simply using your lines to retain position close to the wall.
You'll prefer to have 3 people with you: you pilot the boat; one person on the bow line; one on the stern.
