So...I kind of think that when the boat has a motor and a steering wheel, "drive" is really the most appropriate term. It's certainly ridiculous to describe what we were doing as "sailing."
(Having peeked at the link): I can accept that what a boat pilot does to a boat is "piloting," but that's not the right word to describe what a bunch of people on board a boat moving on water is doing.
