i was talking to a friend of mine that happened to boating up on the lake(Moultrie, about 35 miles inland), he made the comment that everyone up there was so friendly. Every one waved at each other and he saw several boats lending a hand to other boaters, even towing a few in that had problems. I told them there wasn't a tow service on the lake, so every one depended on each other, and every one made the effort to be courteous (you never knew who you needed help from). Down in the salt, most have towing service and unfortunately, their attitude is I paid my annual fees, so why should you get off with a free tow! The tow companies offer a great service, it just seems to harden the attitude of what used to be a friendly hobby. Of course the attitude of the tow services around here haven't helped one bit. They can't all be as professional as Capt. Pete!
