Step-by-step I'm mastering docking my boat in it's new double-fingered upwind slip.

I spend a lot of time on my boat in the dock, and I really want it to be stern first into the slip. It has a much better view that way and a lot more privacy. However, there are very close quarters. I have enough trouble navigating into the slip forward, and I don't think I'm capable of doing it in reverse.
So... does anyone have advice on the _best_ way to turn around a boat in a double fingered slip? I've managed to do it a number of times, but it's never been particularly graceful.
Thanks!
