Did the 1% Win at Kona?
My first adult experiences at Winny were visiting a friend. He and his wife took me and mine to a large deep sandy bay he called Kona. There must have been 100 boats rafting in 6-10' of water. No walking around, like Braun, but a community no less. A few years later when I had a boat, we headed there, near Blueberry Isl. --- but no boats --- but 3 new big mansions. Over the next couple years, I heard stories of how it was now off-limits because rich people called the MP and you got chased out. I wanted to see and about 5 years ago, took my family - anchored anout 300 yards from shore and a woman in curlers appeared with arms flailing chasing me from her shore. Then my best friend returned a few weeks later and an older gent appeared from same mansion, again flailed arms, then swam out and shouted profanities at my friends family.
That was 5-6 years ago, and I still see that bay empty today.
With Braun and Patrician pretty crowded today - why don't we go back there and assert our right to use the lake?
