It's all too easy to get distracted by others on board, and staying focused on what you're doing is very important!
A few years ago we were on our way through the Weirs channel towards the main lake. I was watching the boat directly ahead of us, with the driver constantly turning to his left to talk to his passengers. As he passed the Endicott Rock monument he started to drift right, still chatting away. I commented on this to my daughter and next moment we heard a loud "thunk" as his prop hit one of the large rocks to that side of the channel. Pretty sure that did not make for a good day.
