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.

Well..that guy must have a wife that has a tight rope around him for
supper time.

However, I took my boat out for trial run to get the engine primed.
After the 3 run, the engine overheated and I was stranded about 3 miles
from the boat ramp. A guy in a jet ski came by and ask if we need help.
I said (swallowing my pride) yes..and gave him the rope. He towed us
back to the boat ramp - a very slow ride on a jet ski. Wanted to give
me gas money, but he said no..so there are good people out there who
wants to do a good deed. Keep your beliefs...they are out there.
