Default Stay out of my boat

I'm curious how others feel about someone getting into your boat at a public dock to tie up another boat.

We were enjoying a nice lunch at the Lyons Den today when I noticed that a Gilford marine company was launching a boat at the Glendale ramp. The next time I looked up I saw that the guy was trying to position the boat behind mine and he had to jump into my boat in order to keep his boat from banging into mine.

I left my lunch and went down to the dock to give the guy a piece of my mind. I confirmed that he was the owner of the company and told him that he had no business in my boat. His answer was he was trying to be courteous by not letting the other boat bang into mine. I get that but a company that doesn't have water access shouldn't have to do that as part of his launching business. He was apologetic but I'm sure he'll be out there tomorrow doing the same thing. I told him that too.

Once I calmed down lunch was excellent.
