Maybe somebody should have offered some assistance. Maybe the loud mouth in the Champion. Maybe someone in the 8 other boats could have helped. But this is 'Merica. We'll just bitch about it. Does not matter if it's a million dollar boat or a $500 flat bottom.
The problem is that he has probably never been shown. I've seen plenty of people in bass boats that are just as bad. I offered them help, most took it without ever saying thanks or anything but I did it anyway.
