As a very new boater, I witnessed my first "near fight" Sunday morning at the Wolfboro town docks. I was already docked and chatting with another boater when two guys met near the park benches and proceeded to argue nose to nose over some sort of "who should of come in first" event. Another witness had to step in and defuse the situation! Is this what I'm in for? They were actually bragging about who's boat was bigger! I thought they were going to start comparing checking account balances next!
These were guys in their late fifties by the way!
I will say it is very difficult for a new boater to understand 'who goes in next" when there are 10 boats floating around for position. I dropped the family off in the handicap dock area on Saturday afternoon and just floated around in the bay until they were ready! Safer that way!
