That is when the guy in front of me turned and and said "Hey, you have a little boat, why don't you take that spot on the right"? I said, "Who you calling little? You should see my anchor!"

After my guests stopped laughing at me, I proceeded to take the little spot on the dock and go to lunch.

Has anyone else been shamed like this in front of you family and guests while docking at the public docks around the lake? How did you handle it? Should I have taken down their reg number and notified Marine patrol of the Boat shaming?

For reference, I have a Cobalt 220S. Not the biggest boat on the lake, but certainly not the smallest. LOL
You aren't serious are you??

I would of thanked that person in the other boat for being so kind and understanding and for realizing that spot was probably better suited for you than for him. Certainly no shaming there...
