Its Not that hard to be Polite
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007I saw something that really irked me yesterday, and something that you never would have seen 10-20 yrs ago.
Not once, but twice I saw bigger boats leaving Bolles Harbour and passing smaller boats, with no one in front of them. Whats wrong with that, nothing, unless the passing boat has it opened wide and running hard. In both cases, these two boats came from behind smaller boats and passed them, while the smaller boats were still coming out of the no wake area.
Ok, the law and regulations might allow for this faster speed. Regardless, it would have taken less than minutes to hold those horses back until they were past these lesser sized craft and out of their wake. Lesson? Show some sportsmanship and consideration for those boats around you .
Better to get a friendly wave, than the alternative greeting.
