[quote=MN3][quote]From that guy, some courtesy perhaps[/quote]
good luck with that....

(IMHO)
the guy offers to help you if you need it - that is the moment you should focus on and say "thanks I may ...", not when he leaves without saying goodbye - seize the moment (i am really not telling you how to live your life, just how to help you or others with my experiences)

If you walk up to me when i am in a bad mood, or have been distracted by other people asking me questions and messing me up while rigging, or i am just back from a sail and broke or lost something, or was cut off by powerboaters, or a bird just pooped on my head ... your gonna get some attitude from me ....

walk up to me when everthing is going smoothly and your likely to get a nicer version of me .... nothing personal but rigging/boating is very intense, dangerous and hard work .. i don't have my "best attitude" on auto-smile

EITHER way, i am more than happy to help someone step their mast, or push their boat up the beach .... i just may or may not smile.

try not to take things personally or be sensitive - boating can be the best of times, or the worst day ever (all depending on how smoothly things go) - and you never know what kinda day (or trials and tribulations) the other person has just had

again most small boaters want to see you succeed, and are happy to help, even if they don't look like it (except powerboaters and jetskis - they want to run over you at full speed )<em>Edited by MN3 on May 14, 2015 - 10:05 AM.</em> [/quote]
