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.

Similar thing happens if you drive a vintage kombi. Everyone waves, especially kids.

I got this driving a rental RV around South NZ where like half the traffic population is rental RVs.

Eventually it was more fun imagining their thought process is just like that of an excited dog...

"Hey! Oh my god, hey! We're both in rental RVs! Hey! Hey! Hey! Aw, he didn't wave back. That's fine, that was so neat...............Oh, hey! Hey! Another rental RV like me! Hey! Oh my god they waved! Sweeeeeet! What a swell holiday!"
