True arrogance is indicated by the waterfront owners who hop in their boats and charge at you, then yell at you when they come alongside when you're anchored 150 feet off shore and 200 feet down from their dock over a rocky bottom that you want to snorkel over.

Cabinfever was kind enough to ask for suggestions. He was told by the MP to put up swim ropes. Plenty of associations and businesses have swim ropes and have for years. Ames Farm has two roped off areas, which have been there every summer for at least 40 years.

And can we please stop with the hyperbole that NONE of your fellow boaters would swim off someone's raft or anchor off someone's front porch? It obviously has happened in the past, and with the number of inconsiderate boaters on the lake, will happen again in the future. You weaken your argument with all encompassing statements like that.
