You say “As a Sailor, cargo ships generally don’t care who else is out on the ocean”.

OK Popeye, did you get your Captain’s hat at the marina gift shop? Comments like that tell me you have no idea what you are talking about.

I’ll admit I’ve never been on a cargo ship … but, in the middle of the Atlantic, under sail, hailing larger vessels by radio as it/they approached and occupied my stern to ascertain their Captain’s intentions with no material reply or any courtesy response … I was/am left with the first hand impression that they didn’t care who else was out on the ocean. This does not require your unsolicited approval or validation. If the Captains or crew I hailed had a bum attitude like yours, I was probably better off with their silence anyway.
