I recently suggested to a boater that he pass a marker on the right side of a marker instead of the wrong side due to rocks. You’d think I insulted his manhood from his response. It is true, “No good deed goes unpunished!”

Same thing happened to me in Sally's Gut. I was traveling from the east side of Stonedam Island, and a boat coming the other way was heading toward the wrong side of a black marker. Lots of boulders near the water surface, would have caused heavy damage to the hull and engine. I waved my arms and escalated from a loud warning to shouting at him to change his course. My reward, the dude started yelling at me, like a petulant child. I would have been grateful. Like Big says, no good deed goes unpunished. The next guy will not receive such a warning.
