As for Wake Up's comment about common sense, I have more faith in our ability to help one another than to think everyone out there is somehow less capable than I.

That said, I am slowly accepting the changed lake - with the worship of homes and boats over any sense of community. A new, material "me" ethic that puts things above people.

I'll limit my visits to public docks to weekdays to try to avoid any need to "touch" anothers boat.
I think retying someomes boat or towing them is very different from moving a secured boat and potentially damaging it as was the case in Woodsy's post.I know I would be furious if I came back to find my boat moved and damaged because of that.Two totally different situations.
