how/where do you store your tube when you are back at the dock? I hate having to dry, un-inflate, then re-inflate the tube so I have just put it up on the bow and tied down with three ropes, any suggestions?

That's probably the best way to avoid re-inflating the tube every time, however that will likely shorten the life span of your tube. Having it sit out in the sun all of the time with the air expanding inside of the tube will take it's toll.

Put it in the water and tie it off when back at the slip. Won't hurt a thing. The water will keep it
cool enough, after all, it's designed to be IN the water.

That is what we always did. It's only in the water overnite, or over the weekend, and it's out of the way.
Sometimes our kids would hop in it and float off the boat if they were bored with Mom and Dad.

I am kind of spoiled come to storage for tubes. They stay inflated though out summer

Just deflate and dry, its the easy way to ensure a long life on the tube.

I completely agree with your way. It is fine and working effectively. I am also preferring that.
