I mean no disrespect to the original poster but the subject of this thread bothers me quite a bit. This is just the attitude that should not be present on what is supposed to be a relaxing, vacation, get-away, call it what you want. This I-93/I-90, road rage, rush hour traffic type of boating is far too common. I agree with the advice of some of the posters here "slow-down, relax, enjoy yourself." bobio, I realize that you qualified your original post by saying that other peoples actions have an adverse affect on boat traffic etc. I agree! Unfortunately not everyone sees things that way. Your comment was that the people who are parked enjoying the water, sights, or setting up for watersports, etc. are the problem. I don't see it that way. The problem lies with the impatient, get out of my way, I'm in a hurry, stressed out, I brought my bad attitude road ragers.

However, I will not dismiss your point totally, there are some individuals who seem hell bent on putting their children in harms way by waterskiing, tubing, etc. through major traffic areas. The word etiquette is not what comes to mind in that situation, it's stupidity.
