I call this the "herd" instinct.

What should a "non-leaf-eater" do in this situation?

Learn to play the electric guitar. In fact, practice playing your
electric guitar REAL LOUD on deck... naked.

It'll drive away most of the boats... all of them, in many cases, and it
will have the bonus of attracting crazy women who want to drink tequila
and show you their body piercing(s).

Here's an example how not to:

1- acoustic instead of electric guitar
2- boat tied to dock instead of anchored
3- clothes... poor taste, sure, but not as offensive as buck naked
4- woman has no tattoos, no piercings, no tequila

You should be able to do better!
