New to boating (we've only had our 290 Bow Rider a month now), there is still some boat etiquette we're trying to learn. I have a question about tying up with another boat and would also like to know any other boating etiquette that should be observed when tying up.
This weekend we went to Aquapalooza by Dog Days at the Lake Of The Ozarks. As we were approaching another boat to tie-up, I was wondering what end of my rope to throw the other boat. On one hand it seemed appropriate to hand them the looped end since it's minimal effort on their part to attach to their cleat, but then again maybe they want to have more control over how close they tie up with us by having the whipped end. Is there a right way or wrong way?
Any other suggestions regarding boat-to-boat etiquette you wouldn't mind sharing would be very much appreciated.
