This weekend we witnessed first hand how the new owners handle boaters.
We witnessed rude and foul language toward those trying to be friendly. We also heard from others that small children using the rope swing were reprimanded after promises that it would remain open. Boaters near the beach facing Round Island who tried to be nice were greeted with negative responses. (By near I mean 35-40 ft from the beach).

We have driven past the little cove where there appears to be a home and seen several boats anchored in there. If these are not the land owners' boats then the people anchoring there are rude and should not be in such close proximity to the dock and surrounding beach. If these boats are owned by non-residents they should show a little courtesy and cut the owners some slack; there is no need to be in someone's face when there are many other places around the island/lake to go.
