Yes, he wasn't the only one this weekend that was a bit inconsiderate at the docks and on the lake. I mentioned his boat by name in the hopes that someone on the Forum knows him and can advise him on the unwritten rules of consideration in boating. ;-)
Oh yes -- almost forgot: Earlier in the day a chump from RI (Mercedes SUV) cut in line to launch (there were several of us already in an obvious line) -- he developed an attitude when told there was line and he'd need to wait. He told people to either "hurry up and go, or I'll go in front of you." He was in such a hurry that he tried to squeeze his trailer in a small spot instead of waiting for the other large boat to leave -- which would have been a 3 to 4 minute wait. "What goes around comes around" was evident when he had serious issues bringing his 15 foot runabout onto the trailer. For about 10 minutes he struggled to get that little boat on the trailer. Every time he tried, the boat floated off sideways. And his wife was no help...she just stood on the dock watching. I really wanted to tell him that his trailer was backed in a little too far, but...well...he was arrogant. There were a few dozen people milling about on the docks during this fiasco, and not one person offered to help him during his struggle...including my husband and I. You could hear him yelling and cussing at his wife after he finally pulled out.
Hope he stays in RI.
