Congratulations to your wife. That was quite an extended cruise, and some heavy weather, too.
The hardest part of teaching someone to drive a boat is learning to shut up until they ask for advice. The next hardest part in our family was getting people to keep a 360 degree watch, especially if you boat is capable of throwing a wake at 1/2 throttle when you slow down because you're uncertain of what's ahead.
Next, you will both have more confidence after she has taken the boat out by herself a few times.
More drivers, more fun for all.
