When would you board someone else's boat??
"Gary Warner" wrote in message ...
Just stuff to talk about: So - What would you think if someone was boarding your boat? I went out yesterday afternoon for a few hours after I left the office. I returned, buttoned up the boat, chatted with the guy in the next slip for a minute, and left. That night, my wife, son, and I walk into the yacht club restaurant and the guy whom I spoke with in the next slip earlier that day immediatley got up from his table and crossed the room to inform me he boarded my boat after I left. Seems I absent-mindely left the VHF radio on up on the bridge. For reasons unknown, the squelch went nuts and was crackling away up there under all that Sunbrella after I was long gone. He shut the radio off. I appreciated his letting me know, and he was very concerned about it. I must admit I was a little confused at first, as I am pretty easy going, and would assume (and appreciate) someone taking the time and effort to unsnap the covers, climb the ladder, and kill the radio due to my negligence. I felt I was the one to appologize. Thinking about it now, if I had been in his place, I don't know if I even would have thought to mention my boarding his boat to him. It just seems logical. I respect and admire (most of) my dock neighbors and trust thier intentions. Perhpas less so if we had transient boaters in the marina. Coff Damn, life is good! |
