[The Sinker Man]

Capt, Sal said it best..The correct tip is the one that you can afford..No one said that you Have to tip the mates, just like you don't have to tip your waiter..Mates have bills just like we all do and they work hard to get the best tip they can get..Give as much as you can..They don't make a hell of a lot of money if the boat sails with just a handfull of fares or not at all..
