We are trying to get the kids to wave, as dad tends to be too busy navigating. The boys think it is fun, but they do get a little hurt when there is no response. Even the big boats (the Mount, Sophie C, Doris E) don't always have a good turn out of "wavers". It is sad.
Speaking of picking up floaters, my husband picked up 2 life jackets (standard orange) a couple of weeks ago and one of them was rather new. It is too bad that people don't put a name/phone# on their things. Our practice has been to put the stuff on the end of the dock in case anyone comes back looking. So in addition to the floating garbage that we all pick up, you never know what will come floating your way.
