Re: Why do we tip the mates?

Seems to be an unwritten law that boat owners are not allowed to pay mates anything but the absolute min wage that will keep the owner legal. Strange.. since the mates are the ones that keep customers coming back.

Hey go figure! This Thread started last August- it's almost its birthday. LOL
