Dock mate crushes comment by another

Sunday i was at my Slip removing my Center Console to clean the bottom , Two slips down a guy lets his wife dock the boat ( Joy stick with bow,stern thrusters and twin engines) still i thought it was a nice job, Upon setting the lines and hooking up shore power . He walks over smiling looks at the old salt i am talking to " owner of a round stern wooden trawler" and comments "impressive docking don't you think"? before i could say Nice Job the old salt chimes in " well put a solo cup over that joy stick and remove the thrusters and do it with one engine that would impress me he said ! Poor guy said see you guys and walked away i looked at the old man he laughed at me and said " don't worry i am sure all those boats that never leave the dock were impressed" i was pretty impressed with the electronic controled docking the old guy Not so much !
