There are several signs at the NASWA that say "All boats subject to moving and rafting". As we all know, there are many people on the water that struggle to dock a boat. Many times I have seen the dock attendants jump on boats to keep other boats from hitting them.
It is impossible to know what happened. Maybe the person docking opposite your boat was going to hit your boat and they jumped onto yours to push them off. I will take a little sand any day over a fiberglass repair! In that case, if "someone's going to hear about it" maybe a sincere "thank you" would be in order.
In the future, if you go to the NASWA more than once every two years I am sure you will learn to appreciate the very helpful dock attendants and, in turn, they will get to know you and appreciate your gratuity.

I had a friend that took us out on his boat once and he made us take our boat shoes off and wash our feet off. ONCE was enough of that! A little sand in my boat is expected, you clean it when you're done boating. If you have to worry about getting the boat dirty every time you go out in it then you might as well go boating by yourself.
