This topic always becomes tedious. I'm in agreement with Hellosailor's points but wish to add that while courtesy and respect are always in season, we're on a boat for God's sake. Only a sailor can go from bashing through five foot seas, heeled over 30 degrees, to complaining about some spilled beer because some 16 year old kid went by too fast in a ski boat!
Try staying up for two days on a freighter working cargo. You've just cleaned up and are sitting down for a nice lunch of home-made fish soup prior to getting a well-deserved nap and the longshoremen drop a forty ton diesel-generator set into the lower hold from fifty feet up! Now that's rockin' the boat!
We're always going to have the inconsiderates amoung us; don't let them rent space in your head, you'll be distracted from the good stuff that's going on. Sail On!
