Re: Why do we tip the mates?
And I'm sure there are people on this Board that say even a lazy mate should be tipped too.
I've towed guys for hours, docked them perfectly. SInce they are memebrs they dont pay a nickle on what would have been a $1500 job. Most do not give you a cent.
The guys in the ragged a*sed POS boats are the ones who usually tip after spending 3-5 hours with them.
