No one within the group of people hanging out on Saturday was rude in any way, heck none of the boats was even within 30' of the shore line.
One person said hi to the people from the water and their remark was very rude.
A rafting party is a bad idea. None of us is looking to cause any problems.
The area we are in is away from any homes and faces Round Island so none of the boaters is infringing on anyone’s views.
I've never seen anyone littering, in fact we pick up any trash we see in any area we anchor in. Maybe these people have had problems with other boaters but that is no reason for them to assume all of us are bad and treat us as such. Leads me to believe the comments I made earlier about the whole Timber island thing are turning out to be all to true.
Hope they don't try to make it a no rafting area. That just attracts more boats.
When new boaters are asking about good places to hang the first thing that boaters say is look on the chart for the no rafting areas. They are usually the best spots to hang out and swim.
