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.
a lot of old maritime tradition / custom seems very quaint and very fascinating, there’s sort of an uncanny valley of weirdness, almost. i guess because if you’re out at sea that long, your mind knows it shouldn’t quite be possible, seeing another person feels like a relief
similarly i was reading this old book called Sailing Alone Around the World and the dude waves and says good evening to the moon at night
Hey moon, if I was to fall
I won’t fall so deep
Though I doubt I’m gonna
You can wake me up if you wanna
I would hate for you to hang there all alone
The whole night through
