Ski boat encounter

Made a run to the back of Spring Branch Friday afternoon and on the way I passed a ski boat that was stopped in the middle of the channel regrouping or whatever it was they were doing.  I motored past them 2 or 300 yards and started fishing.  As I fished I heard a boat approaching and it was slowing down.  I turned to look and it was the ski boat I'd passed earlier. My first thought was perhaps I didn't give a wide enough berth as I passed him.  He slowed almost to a stop and to my surprise told me he was going to the back and would be pulling his daughter out just one time and he wouldn't bother me after that.  I smiled and waved and told them to have a great time. 

There are a few considerate folks left, and I got lucky Friday afternoon and met one! 

Boats and trucks come in one color - RED, and peanut butter has to be crunchy.

I've become so cynical in my old age that my first thought was, "C'mon, gotta be Fake News"!

Amazing (and a little depressing) that such a simple act of courtesy can cause skepticism much less be news worthy......

Good for him and you. Courtesy goes a long way in all of our lives. If everyone would take a breath, be grateful and courteous we could all live better lives. My petty problems are nothing compared to what others are experiencing.  Sounds like a boater who is trying to do the right thing.
