I also don't have a boat big enough for tender, I was just thinking about those that do and struggle to find a place to dock.

I built a remote control for my anchor windlass that operates with a key chain fob. I have not done it yet, but if I ever need to dock somewhere and there are no spots, I plan to Mediterranean moor off the end of a dock with crossed stern lines, and use the remote to tighten the rode after I step ashore.
I'm no longer on the big lake. I'm on lake Waukewaun but on occasion I take my boat out and bring it over to the big lake for the day. By the end of the day I've had my fill for a few months. I'm glad to head back to my quite lake.
