What makes ( most ) boaters so friendly ?

[parishht]

You are correct, (MOST) boaters are friendly like an unseen bond
I think it comes from the fact that most boaters have started small
and worked their way up to larger boats.
That way people learn what it's like to operate a smaller vessel
and to work on your own equipment.

Every time I have been in a situation with another boat,
it is one of three things:

- a rich kid driving daddy's high power boat.
- people who rent a pontoon boat and get 15 minutes of instruction.
- kids on jet skis.
