I think it's cute that thing humans do when they see a boat pass and the people on the boat wave at them and they wave back. For absolutely no reason. They don't know each other they're not trying to communicate anything other than "LOOK! I am on a boat!!! Hello!!!!" "I see you!!!! On the boat!!!! Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!" in a genuine moment of wholesome human connection and excitement.

One thing about being on a boat is the reality that even close to shore an accident on a boat becomes a life emergency real quick.

Acknowledgement at sea is a part of that reality.
