It's a public dock/launch. He had three choices:
1. Wait until you finished lunch.
2. Risk damaging your boat.
3. Step into your open boat, to protect it from damage.
I'd feel selfish if I expected #1. If he were going to attempt #2, I would expect him to be certain he could do so without damaging my boat. If he elected #3, and did so in a careful manner, I would thank him.
