On a multi day trip the guide prepares 3 meals a day plus snacks, pitches tents, washes dishes and generally provides far more service than a waiter or waitress ever thought of. When I started doing that I was paid $50.00/day for those services. A guide day usually started at 6:00 am and ended sometime around 9:00 or 10:00 pm. >> Now see, this is exactly why I'm glad my first post was so tame. Given the scenario as you have explained it (so eloquently, I might add), I would see tipping as an acceptable thing. Anyone who works in a service industry, for less than minimum wage, should be tipped for delivering excellent service. I didn't realize that guides were paid such wages. Shame. << Anyway, just food for thought. Would you prefer a tamer topic such as boat washing technique? >> Now that you mention it, I am having difficulty keeping that all-white NDK Explorer white. Any good tips to keep good, thick, British gel-coat from taking on other colors?
