The parents sit inside as passengers and get served plastic food. It&amp;#x27;s so cute.</text></comment>

Every time he&amp;#x27;d reach a waypoint and get his next bearings, he&amp;#x27;d set autopilot and watch another show on TV, because it was boring to just stare at the blue ocean. :)&lt;p&gt;Plus, he&amp;#x27;d cheat by slewing if he messed up a landing (instead of just turning around). I gave him a lot of grief for that.</text></comment>
