My kids were totally embarrassed. My daughter asked “ Dad, what are you doing.” I finally answered “I don’t know” as the boat drifted past the slip for the third or fourth time. Fortunately I didn’t hit anything. When I finally got it in the slip, my kids jumped off and ran away. My wife stayed though, even if only to laugh (I have to admit it it was really funny").  I saw the kids at the car later and both said they weren’t coming back until I learned how to park!
