Well finally got to see my boat at its slip today. What an experience!
While my wife and I were parking the car to go to our boat. We noticed people on chairs all over the dock. Mind you this is 8:30am. We gathered our things and started heading to our boat. Seems like everbody just sets up lawn chairs on the main entrance behind there boat. As we worked our way through the crowd of people. Several were already drinking and trying to make lite humor, asking if we would "like a beer", "cocktail hour" and "hair of the dog" whatever that means. :huh:
Once we arrived at our boat we uncovered it to do some general maintenance. Thats when two boats down from us had to turn on there radio and play it like we were at a concert. This went on all day. At one point the boat that was playing there music left to go and get something to eat. They didn't even have the courtesy to shut off there radio.:smt021
Well I could go on and on with more examples.The only reason I am writing this is because of my disgust with the whole ordeal. Is this common dock edicate? Should my wife and I just relax and go with the flow? By the way we wanted to take the boat out, but the water is too high several boats had reported hitting under water logs. I do not need that this season.
