Like the look on the people on the dock the other night at our club. I had engine probelems on my C27 so got a tow on a flat calm night back to the end of my jetty but had to move the boat about 200 feet down the jetty into into my slip. I stood on the tiller and rocked the boat back and forth side to side and moved it at about 1/2 knot down the jetty singing "Rock the boat...don't rock the boat baby". Everyone just stared at me as I spun the boat 90 degrees at the last minute into my slip like I'd been doing it all my life. Got a round of applause for that one.
Don't ask me to do it if there's a cross wind though.
