How would you have handled this situation? What would you do now and going forward? :huh:
We went out on our boat last summer with some people we know that also own a cruiser. Their boat is about 6’ longer then ours. It was a long run. At the end if the day I did not ask for money for gas and they did not offer. We went to dinner. Each couple paid for their own dinner bill.
Earlier this year we again took them out. Another long run. Again, I did not ask for money for gas and they did not offer.
For the first time ever we went out on their boat. The run was the same run we took them on last year. In addition to us and them there was a 3rd couple that we just met on this cruise. This other couple were friends of the boat owner couple. Hope I’m explaining this so all can follow it.
Upon returning to the dock they first went to gas up and asked for each couple to ‘chip in’ then after the other couple did I also did, one Franklin. I guess I just did it to not make a scene at the time. Time has passed yet I’m still really bothered by how this all went. :smt013 I think the principle is bothering me more then the money.
