I have been taking mental note of incidents of good behavior on the lake and they FAR outnumber incidents of boneheadedness. I have also been teaching two 14 year olds and a 12 year old how to operate a boat properly all Summer and it's been fun pointing out all the situations that come up and giving direction (or quizzing) on how to handle them. I hope the kids I'm training operate with skill someday.

So far, the biggest issue I've had to deal with is trying to get the kids to maintain a heading. They are all over the place on the compass...
