Mark,

Thoughtful reply, thank you, though I'm still annoyed at them (and others). I could tell from their body language they had seen me and were choosing to ignore me. Somewhat the same thing happens in cycling. Them not kitted in cycling drag --at least to the extent of a jersey- AND not wearing a helmet get no recognition from me. But everyone else I pass on a road or trail gets a nod or wave. Same-same whenever I see a wooden boat anywhere. I'll always stop to admire. Most often it's a kayak from Pygmy --whose lines are distinctive -- or a stripper canoe. Not my kind of boats. But it brings joy into my day to see them and to chat a bit with their builder-owners.
