In fact most of the participants came from islands! Yet they are the most vocal!
Can anyone get along?

Yeah, I know who they are, but I'm not naming names either (not my circus, and those aren't my monkeys). I should point out that this was likely an isolated incident between some spectators and a couple residents, and shouldn't be used to cast a negative light on the marathon. I think the whole thing started because of the loud idling spectator boat getting too close to houses, and it escalated from there. That's just my guess (but I did have a front row seat). I'm hoping this information finds it's way to race organizers and is helpful as P.R. for future events so everybody can continue to have fun.
