    Okay, buy why do people on land wave at people on a boat? Is it a throwback from when people might travel to new and exotic lands possibly never to see their families again? Peopkr also wave at people on carnival rides. Is that the same impulse? Whats up with that?

      It is because waving is such an innocent gesture that it feels like letting a puppy drown if you don’t wave back.
