Barbara — a woman who dares (and wants) to take the boat out herself is a rare and valuable commodity… :^)
Congrats on your first outing, and there’s no shame in backing a boat out of a precarious situation; you’d be subject to a lot more grumbling if you had hit someone, or gotten yourself cross-wise in a fairway. Keep at it, and you’ll most likely earn the respect of all those mumblers.
