I was showing a friend how to helm, he was all over the place, first dropping off more and more then after correction coming up until he luffed. I tried all the usual, steer small, hold your hands up and watch the boat steer itself straighter than you, watch the compass, pick a point or cloud on the horizon etc. In desperation I pointed to a red float on a crab pot about half a mile away and said "Steer towards that and let me know when we're close".
While I was fiddling with something I just had time to look up and see us hit that float square in the center when he shouted "WE'RE CLOSE !!!!!"
