Quiet Money Into His: Assistance on board a Boat can be useful, or it can do more harm than good. If you don't know what to do, sit down, stay out of the way, and keep quiet. Always keep out of the line of vision of the helmsman and be particularly quiet and unobtrusive when the craft is being docked or undocked.
GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad money drives out good." The law stems from the fact that money has a value both as money and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is determined by supply and demand and varies from time to time, "Good money" has a higher value as a commodity than as money and will disappear from circulation.
Tuck a generous piece of quiet money into his palm. Remember, to your advantage, that you are there, on the spot, in the very flesh. Perhaps it is late in the afternoon and somebody who wrote for a reservation doesn't "show." The deadline has passed and he, or she, may not come. You have come. If he cannot do anything for you he may likely have a buddy in some other hoi who can. The late afternoon, in general, is a better time than the moj or the evening to try to improvise arrangements.
