All good points. I've been boating for 20 of my mere 37 years. But I'm still new as my father owned about four boats over that time, and I'm on my second. So even though I have lots of experience on the water, there are some things I know little about. Lauching at a ramp is an example, I've had to do it only once or twice in my life. So the poor guy may have tons of hours on the lake, but perhaps he's never had to launch.
I agree, we should offer the knowledge, and if they resist, sit back and chuckle.
