Today, I went to launch my boat in a small local lake south of Boston. I've got a week on Winnipesaukee coming up so I wanted to be sure everything was running properly. Just as I went to out the boat in the water, my phone rang. I was not yet on the ramp. Rather, was still in the "prep" line. This was a fairly important call that I'd been waiting for. As this happened, a man pulled up beside me and asked if I was going in right now. I said, "No. Go ahead". He went ahead of me and got his boat launched. I was right behind him.
It was nice of him to ask. I already felt badly that I could be holding up progress. Although if I was on the ramp, I wouldn't have taken the call.
This was a case where everyone involved applied common sense.
