It’s not terribly easy to parallel park an automobile on a lake.
Now, John Giljam knows this to be as true as the highway is long, and for good reason: He’s tried to park his car on a lake — and on rivers, ponds, even the Intracoastal Waterway.
Giljam, in fact, has practiced not only parking on water; he’s become quite adept at turning sharply on it. (He no longer gets drenched in a curtain of spume when cornering, he’ll have you know.) And he’s mastered the art of steering clear of critters — geese, mostly, though gators have a habit of surfacing at inopportune moments.
