Probably not a sailor

With a 50 ft wide channel and the wind on the nose, I had to get a guy to tow me in. At the point where I would normally make a 90 degree turn into my slip, I just uncleated and dropped the tow line, and turned into the slip with the last of my momentum and dropped on the dock lines. No sweat. Marina owner then came down .... said I should have been tied up side to side and let the powered boat bring me completely into the slip, I endangered other boats, bla bla bla. Anyone have any thoughts? Tom
