Like I said, there's idiot's within both disciplines. Let's not forget the Tricolour and Hythe pier incidents, both professional skippers?????

Re: Naughty You!
You are confusing the etiquette of rafting on public moorings with private. This like confusing parking in a public car park with parking on someone's driveway. rafting and so on is part of the deal with visitors moorings in a crowded marina. It is not part of the deal with a private mooring, especially when public moorings are provided nearby.
It's fine to use EMPTY private moorings as a quick drop off. But it's not ok to use a private mooring with a boat on it as a "pontoon" primarily for the purposes of saving the taxi fare or a longer walk, as you were doing. Otherwise the bloke will find himself swamped with people dumping off a large crew over his boat, then shorthanded parking on the other side of the river Medina and same again on the way out.
From his point of view (which you have determindedly not taken) you probably won't be the first to have made (or in you case tried to make) the quickie dropoff gambit. So, after a whole season, he's pretty narked. You simply felt the full force of his frustration.
Someone being rude doesn't make you right. Looking on the bright side, at least you learned some new words. Watch the tarantino films, or even better the car scene in "the Big Lobowski" for foulmouthed mile-building.

"When you want to go a little further than around the island and back to your berth start thinking about a rag on a stick."
Thinking back to a weekend in Spetember. Left Port Solent on Saturday AM arrived Gurnsey for Lunch. Stopped at Hern for a swim in the afternoon then on to Jersey where we waited untill 7PM before there was enough water to get over the cill. Departed about 9.30 AM on the Sunday, stopped at Sark for a BBQ and played on the beach until 4 before heading back home.
I wonder if you made it round the island that weekend!

I'm sure I could think of much faster ways of getting to Guernsey than that. But it's not really the point is it?
You underline the fundamental difference betwixt ragnstink - that the destination is the only objective of boating. Get much conversation in on the journey? Quiet contemplation praps?

You do occassionally get both raggies and mobos who do not wish you to raft onto them, still no need to be rude.
I presume the raggie was on his own private mooring and not just using an empty one.
As for comments about mobo,s hitting things they only forgot to go round things were as a lot of raggies seem to think that their boats go just as well on dry land ( seems to be a lots of vhf calls from raggies who have run aground)

Not all stinkpots are the same. A trip to Weymouth on my boat has as much planning as most saily types. It's nice to arrive, though it can sometimes be a lot shorter if the seas are flat.
A trip x-channel on my sportsboat would challenge most experienced saily types, and probably scare many of them.
Sometimes we go out for the pure hell of it. Two months back three boats went from Cowes to Ryde of a Sunday morning (this after 8 odd boats had come from Hamble to Cowes for breakfast, and that was challenging, even in my experience)
It took nearly 1.5 hours. Throttling up and down the wavelets
Not normal stinkie fare, but great to sit in the skittle alley (only place nearby open) and have hot drinks. I'm not going to even mention getting into Ryde.
We weren't doing it for the getting there. We did it becuase it was nice to be out, and it was fun. Two were sportsboats and one a medium rib. All three were there because they were experienced in those conditions in those boats, and were having a great time. Didn't really matter where we ended up
