It was awesome. Being new to boating in general I had some anxiety about everything. But once I figured out where my slip was, practiced docking and organized everything with my kids it all went great. I even talked my kids into getting off the tubes an onto the knee board. Next step will be a wake board.
The learning to dock thing was literally a matter of not being timid about it. If you try to go to slow, you have no control of the boat. When I figured this out I docked it a few times in the slip and up along side of a regular dock without issue. Still need a lot of practice but I'm feelilng a lot better about it.
Thanks to everyone here for all the great info. Has helped tremendously.

Let my Son drive a bit. 12 years old but passed his boater safety course so he's all legal.
