Boating Question.....

[FRANK THE TANK]

I have read the boating book from the Department of Waterways that the state puts out since I'm a beggining boater. Here's a question I have that was not covered in their literature. What does it mean when someone raises one arm while passing a boat that has a water skier in the weater? This is one of the hand signals this book didn't cover.
Thanks for the 411!

That is an unofficial courtesy to notify the ski boat that you see that they have a skier in the water.

Thanks. That's what I thought but I didn't want to be the novice idiot who was doing the wrong thing.

What if there's a finger involved also?

Generally that is not a courtesy....
But it does impart a message...

Then that means I did something wrong? Doesn't it?

If they're skinheads wearing boots, it means "Heil Hitler".
If they're black and it's a fist, it means "Black Power".
If they have a rainbow flag and they're waving, it means they think you're handsome.
Hope this helps
