I, for example, am seeking training and knowledge. However my modesty
prevents me from describing it here. gotta be a life long learner ya

Don't let them hold you back, Bob! Anyone on any dock that claims to be
perfect is soon aground begging for a towboat. We're all in this
together.
The ones in the most trouble are those hermits that never ask the guy
down the dock for a hand or offers you a beer. Boating's no place for
snobs.
If I find one, I make it really hard on him by just pitching in with
whatever he's doing without being asked. "Hold a second. I got one of
those in my tools." and go running off to retrieve it. Next thing you
know, you've infected his whole family and they've joined the rest of the
dock in actually enjoying each other's company.
I've gotten some great trips on some really nice yachts like that. "Oh,
don't leave it like that. Hand me that (tool) and let's fix that before
something else happens."
Nothing's more fun than going to West Marine with a rich guy's VISA on
Saturday morning!....(c;
Lay yourself wide open for the usual lambasting. Don't hold back.
Nobody's been bitten in a long time and even that didn't require the
Rabies Series.
