Yep. I think we could call that a "cut 'n run."

Well, the guy did say that if you use your boat, moisture is not a
problem! Maybe when he runs out of gas in the middle of a large body
of water, he can **** in his tank to get home.....

You remind me of a funny story. My outboard engine once conked out
and an old guy in a small row boat with a tiny engine came by and
asked me if I needed a tow. I said yes so I threw him a rope and he
towed me to within about 2 miles of my slip and then threw my rope
back to me and said he had to go to dinner and left me there. Luckily
I had a paddle but try rowing an 18 foot boat straight and before it
gets too dark (this is before cell phones) into your slip without
hitting other boats. I remember I did it before it got dark and the
next day had muscles I never knew existed. I just couldn't believe a
person would do that to a stranded boater; I know I didn't do it to
the ones I towed. I don't know if people are that helpful
nowadays... from watching news stories it doesn't look like it. This
story happened in the 70's. Oh well just memories now.
