On track for getting under weigh
I'd walk it out, have the Admiral hold a line from the midship cleat around the rear cleat on the dock. With the stern well into the channel, port prop walk will just turn your bow into the wind, and you ought to make sternway fast enough to miss the power boat (although a couple of strategic fenders are still in order.) And the spring line from the midships cleat to a bowline to drop over the rear cleat on the dock ought to give excellent control coming in. As the prop strains the boat against the spring line, you have some powerful force to hold against the wind. And you really can move toward or away from the dock with the rudder. Go for it!
