Sure there is.
The word you're looking for is
Jedzie
It means "here comes (the boat)". But it's real meaning is that something is coming on the wheels. A car, a train and so on.

That's it.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

the word you're looking for is "jedzie"
strictly speaking polish (and all slavic languages i think?) doesn't have a verb like "go". you have to specify, you can ride, drive, walk, sail, swim, roll and so on but you can't "go". that verb (which means "[there it] drives") would be usually used for land vehicles, for boats we'd use "płynie" ("swim", "sail", "flow" depending on context)
Don't know polish but it might be conjugation of the word "jechać". https://www.tastingpoland.com/language/verb/jechac_go_verb.html
Oh, this looks promising, thanks!
Yeah, the word is "jedzie", aka "there goes". A native speaker wouldn't use this word about a boat though, it would be "płynie", which literally means "there swims"; we just use a different word for watercrafts.
As a native speaker I use jedzie in the context of boats embarassingly often. It doesn't really make a difference in casual settings since you get the message across anyway, but of course you wouldn't say that in any formal situation.
Ok, I'm not Polish (hopefully somebody Polish will chime in soon) but from neighbouring Slavic country so tried to figure this out with some translator help. My gues it's something like "tam idzje" (or close to it, might not be comoletely gramatically correct), but pretty butchered - I understand your father doesn't speak the language but probably heard someone in family as a kid say it and tried his best to mimic them? I'd expect it not sounding quite right.
I think I can get reasonably close to pronouncing "tam idzje" weirdly enough for it to sound something like "yadja".
Yeah, I had a similar thought process that it's polish variant of verb їхати-jyhaty(to move, to travel) or similar ones in other slavic languages.
Oh, maybe. I'm sure he's never seen the word and only heard someone else say it. I'll see what it should like in the translator
