Hi..wave wave
 

Ever notice that people on boats always wave, and expect you to wave
back?
I've had people get angry because I did not wave back.

I think I figured out why, but would like to know your opinion first.

Why do people wave on boats, and not in cars?

My personal opinion is that:
1. they are happier in their boats than in their cars
2. they are not thinking about "getting there"
3. perventage wisem many more people drive cars than bots..the
percentage of car owners that also own boats are those that wave

Thats what I use to think...not even close to the truth.

Joe,

I've always thought it was to acknowage their presence and yours. I'm
truly not sure but I like it. I'm a Waver!

Hi..wave wave
 

Well, I wave 50% of the time to make sure they actually see us. When I owned
by CJ-7, just about every other CJ owner I came across waved... comradery I
suppose.

No, it's not comradery either.

Your on to something here Thom.
Why is it imporant to acknowlege each others presence on a boat and
from boat to shore, but not cars? If you waved at people in cars they
would think you're nuts.

Maybe they're just waving away black flies or mosquitoes and we all just
assume they're waving at us....

Hi..wave wave
 

Yeah Joe,

It let's people know, "You're there and OK and they would also like to
know the same of you. No need of assistance."

Right, back in the 70s when motorcycles were not common,
riders would wave to each other , especially same brand
bikes, now a days, there's just too many on the road. I
wave to other sailboats and most trawlers.
