I still stand by my statement that boaters are some of the friendliest and most helpful people you'll ever come across. What's in their cooler is yours and if you're having a problem with your engine, they're quick to grab their tools and offer to take a look. Forget your sun block? It's not a problem; some boater will have your back and will be glad to lend you a bottle of his.
But something happens in the winter months to some of these happy-go-lucky individuals. An odd transformation happens when they set foot on land and get behind a computer monitor. I'm convinced that cabin fever is real and until the weather warms up, there are a lot of split personalities out there so don't say I didn't warn you. It's almost like you get two different perspectives from the same person when you compare Mr. Online boater to Mr. Summertime boater.
