Is a person that will lean on your dock box with a cold beer and tell you
what you're doing wrong on that smokey diesel as you swear, kick and sweat. They'll come to your rescue with a cold beer, a willing hand, tools and shared lessons learned
the hard way. Much like a kid, you won't listen and someday after you've "matured" in this new life of wind and sails, you might be the Asswhaffle passing along your knowledge to the new guy.
Or it might be that arm chair sailor that really did know his shit back in the the day, who for reasons unknown can't be on the water that he loves anymore, but he longs to share his glorious stories; listen to his stories with your BS filter turned on high: you might learn, laugh, walk away shaking
your head in disbelief or you might just be getting a glimpse into your future
An Asswhaffle will loan you their cleanest
dirty shirt for a job interview at the bike rental shop so you can live your dream on your boat.
An Asswhaffle will, in light jest (unless you jeopardize the safety of passengers, crew & those around you), point out the errors of your ways so that you become a safer Asswhaffler for the safety of Asswhafflers on all of Mother Earth's waterways.
An Asswhaffle is someone that's a little funky, eccentric, marches
to the beat of their own drum, makes their own rules, helps others when (s)he can, never wastes what (s)he takes from Mother Earth & always pays it forward.
