tits, that is so biker crowd. For the yachting crowd is show them your ascot.
I'm willing to bet it was a USCG/USN VBSS team rather then SEALs.
Flying the Bluehouse colors in Western Canada! Let me know if you want some rad skis!!
"He is god of snow; the one called Ullr. Son of Sif, step son of Thor. He is so fierce a bowman and ski-runner that none may contend! He is quite beautiful to look upon and has all the characteristics of a warrior. It is wise to invoke the name of Ullr in duels!"

What do I know - SEALs sounds cooler. They came off of a Navy ship, which appears to have been the guided missile frigate USS Rentz. It hauled ass past us at a billion (~30) knots, not long after the RIB made its pass around us. Presumably all of the activity was about drug smuggling.
I find that a wave, mock salute, or the FM work pretty well. But, the most I see is CG and Marine Patrol.
Having more tickets on the water than on land, I consider myself an expert on dealing with Marine Patrol. If boarded, act like you are glad that they are doing their job. Do not let on that you think they are wasting your time to fill up their boring ass day, while yahoos wake you in the "No Wake" zone. Oh, and make sure your damn flares are up to date. Even if you have 30 of them on board, they are only good for about 3-5 years. Learned that one the hard way. Also, if you get caught in a lightning storm you should always risk getting hit by lightning, and you should never speed through a Manatee Zone. Manatee are more important than people.

Maybe they were just Pretending to be SEALs
When I was a SEAL we never used to do any pleasure boat buzzing.
I was shooting in the desert a few weeks ago and got buzzed by an attack helicopter from a nearby base. Rifle in one hand, raised the other in greeting, really hoping they wouldnt shoot me.
They waved, then circled around me, I soon realized they were just looking to see where I was shooting from and where my targets were,and how good of a shot I was. They waved again and went off to follow some dirtbikers around.

Hehheh... I would like to have seen their reactions when they notice that they are being tracked by a AH64... Wroomwroom...wwwtfff??!!!
We once stumbled into a interesting situation when hiking up in far north. We sat down to take a bite,chatted for a couple of mins and then got the eerie feeling of being watched upon. Lo and behold. Couple of white eyeballs behind painted faces were about 10m away.. Our version of your sof/green berets were lying low around us...by a one-in-a-million chance we had stumbled upon their cache as they were waiting for an extraction.
We took a haste exit and after 5 mins we saw a heli come in and pick them up.
Felt really creepy afterwards to realize that we had been eyeballed by some bayonet wielding killing machines for 5 mins while eating granola bars.
And thank god I didnt take the shit that I was contemplating...
The floggings will continue until morale improves.
