When using the buoy to keep off the wall do you need to get a line through the ring on the buoy as you pass it?
Yes

How is this done?
When with crew - one holds buoy in place using a boat hook - other slips line through the eye.
In view of single/short-handed sailing I've gotten me this ( http://www.compass24.com/watersports/abnetshop.pl?ARTNR=117510 ).
Tried it 3 weeks ago - works a charm.

How do you get ashore (presumably over the bow) Is it better to come in stern to?
Bow to - use anchor as step.
Stern to is possible too - if you don't mind the world and his wife looking down straight into your cockpit.
