Nathan thank you for playing my game and the fantastic feedback. You're spot on, I introduced a LERP-related bug right before the deadline and had to accept submitting the game with the bug due to lack of time. Unfortunately each time you row it recalculates distance and the amount of time it should take to arrive at the dock--and the bug is that the closer you get the slower the boat moves.. all due to an attempt to make the game last longer than the ~20 second experience it was initially.
I'll try your game. Thanks again.
