I had the same experience when I was near Governors island facing Laconia side. Middle -aged guy came running down the dock at 1st I thought it was an emergency so I went closer only to get sworn at in a very rude manner telling me to get the ^%$ out of the area. Fun ! I wasn't even close to his house/dock. " A few " folks seem to think they own the water too? Life is way to short to get into shouting matches with people.

On a side note someone mentioned Patrician sandbar? Where is that? I am familiar with Braun Bay, West Alton and Paugus Bay sandbars all best during the weekday if I can do it, no one there. During warm and sunny summer weekends many sandbars are like parking lots during peak times before after lunch and before dinner.

Thanks,
