Boats are not cars
That certainly seems obvious when you say it, but I suspect that the vast majority of Canadians drive cars or trucks and that they equate their road driving skills to driving a boat on the water.

We know there’s no brake pedal on a boat and that can be a big adjustment for novice operators as they come in to dock.
