I didn't think anyone was trying to antagonize anyone, at least none of the boaters were. It was a small cove, and no one was trying to get close on purpose. It just was the geometry of the area.
No one was trying to raft. There were other boats in the area too. My chart doesn't show this as a no rafting zone (we did check it).
I'm also not promoting starting problems with the land owners. Did you you see my
?
If the landowner said he had pipes in the water, or there were kids in the water it would have been a different story. But the landowner was the rude antagonist end of this story. There was nothing pleasant about the way they handled this. This was what surprised me, it was the first time I witnessed this sort of behavior first hand on the lake.
I try to be polite and courteous to everyone.
John, good to see you here again! Been on the water lately?
