Aww CT
Thanks for the offers of help, girls!
Wow, not only do I stink at shooting ships, I stink at steering too! Who knew

I thought it was a matter of just pressing the up arrow key and going full speed ahead
My 10 yo has been bugging me to take him out sailing so he can pass his next quest of sinking a ship/getting a flag. So I agreed to take him out this afternoon - I would steer and he would operate the cannon since he's watched me shoot before
Before long we were yelling at each other back and forth between rooms...
Son: Mom, turn around, I only need one more hit on that ship!
Pink: Uh.. turn around? Ok, I'll try...
Son: No! Wrong direction! You have to turn around!!
Pink: I'm turning! But I can't see the ship anywhere!
Son: You're going away from him!
Pink: He's not there!! All I see is water!
Son: Just turn around! His health was low! MOM!!
Pink: Forget it! I'm going to find another ship...
Rinse and repeat...
10 minutes later...
Son: Don't you want to go back on VMK now?
Sigh, I'm no longer a hero in my 10 yo's eyes
