I was also at Timber Island this weekend and witnessed some very negative behavior. Perhaps you were one of the boats in the same cove I was in. People were shocked at the foul language used and NO ONE was even on the beach or near it. I don't know if they were land owners or not.

Regardless, I can understand how dealing with a number of ignorant boaters would make owners feel angry and bitter, but treating all boaters as ignorant just creates more animosity. Perhaps the hope was that we boaters would just go away or think twice about even getting close to shore.
