I was sure there was another place they could be and vented to my wife until they finished their wine and went below into the cabin. At this point it was almost dark and I figured they were planning on spending the night. Wrong. I called the marine patrol and told them we had uninvited visitors. When the MP arrived they proceeded to give the sailor a very thorough safety inspection after which they told our "guest" to be on his way. We occasionally get daytime visitors but they usually only stay long enough to enjoy a swim and move on. While I'd like to think its our private cove there's not much we can do about it. Just don't think about spending the night.

This is exactly the problem Rick. How do I politely say "Mind your own business"

If I was that sailboat I wouldn't move one inch when asked by MP. I would just tell them "I'll go when I'm ready to go"

Quit taking form me what you do not own.
