Why is it that as soon as people find themselves on a boat, they feel the sudden urge to wave to everyone else. Preferably other people on boats, but also innocent bystanders by the waterfront is considered fair play. When waving to people on land the wave is a silent way of saying "look, I am on a boat and you are not!!!", and to other people on boats it's a silent aknowledgement that they belong to the same group as themselves. The only other time I have experienced this phenomenon is when people is sitting on the back of lorries. That also requires waving to complete strangers which just happens to walk past.
