Lifetime small boat sailor. Purchasing Bristol 30 for island hopping. Anyone care to help me avoid a few gaffs?

From reading hear (pun intended), I know quite is golden. Any social customs I might not be aware of?

All opinions/input welcome. What are your pet peeves?

Anchoring too close.

"Quiet" Honda generators.

Hot-rod dinghies.

When invited over to another boat for dinner or cocktails, bring your own dinnerware/ glassware - and then take your own dirty dishes back with you to clean.

Address everyone on the forum as "sir" or "ma'am" and pay our slip fees for a month. Other than that, welcome aboard!

But I stayed up all night. Won't be springing for slip fee's. Nice try.....

I plan on using honda 2000. Will try to be considerate. Sry in advance. Just to recharge bank.

Power boats and their wake when I'm anchored. Bastards,

It's pretty easy. Just be nice and willing to lend a hand.

Really? I wouldn't think to bring these over to a boat I was invited on (maybe if I showed up unannounced). If someone showed up on my boat carrying these, I'd be embarrassed. (am I not clean enough for them?) Sure a bottle of wine, beer they drink, ice, appy, MAYBE, but I wouldn't expect it.

Am I CRAZY here?
