Truth be told, I probably wouldn't have stayed long anyways, the water in my up-island location was very cloudy, a little too weedy and the surf was breaking too close to shore to my liking... but it was definitely a situation in which I would love to have a do-over... not that I would have tried some kind of desperate d-bag move, but I'm 100% sure by the recollection of their demeanor that I could have enjoyed at least a very interesting and memorable conversation... the encounter was very close but not precisely what I described in my OP... there were actually words exchanged, all cordial from both sides, of which self 1 has a vague recollection, but when self 2 (the other brain) kicked in, it forever clouded what self 1 remembered... these specimens were WAY out of my league, even when I was their age...
