go slowly and get the feel of how the boat handles, you have no brakes, reverse works when docking but don't consider it a brake. watch for debrie, most accidents happen when the captain is oogling some chick hanging out of a bikini. when you get comfortable go in some big circles and see how it handles to wakes. then you can cut the circles smaller. learn what it will and will not do..
