The distinction I'd like to make is that common among tourists is the attitude that they can act contrary to how they might act if they were in their home ports. With regards to boating, I doubt seriously that the "every man for himself" attitude would prevail if they knew they were likely to again meet up with those same folks when they returned to the marina. The truth is, I ran into some of those very same people later in the week that cut in front of me at the Indians. And while in my later years I am less apt to be confrontational, short of violating federal laws with regards to offering assistance to boaters in distress, I would not lift a finger to help otherwise. Karma if you will.
