It is nice to come across the occasional courteous boater isn't it. I really do think that there are many good boaters out there and that it is just the few bad boaters that make the biggest impact on the whole experience.

You know, that is a very good point. You guys who encountered the Capt Boneheads this weekend no doubt saw dozens more boats who were being safe and courteous. Yet we have no thread about that. Kind of makes me wonder, with all the negative posts about the boneheads maybe to the uneducated observer to this forum, the lake doesn't really appear to be all that safe. Again, that is based on the posts in this forum...in general.

Interesting, we use to anchor in the vary spot in the Verney's. The same folks, not so gray then, came shooting buy our kids swimming off the stern nearly hitting them. This is not new for these Gray Hairs, it's their mode of operation. You would think the Marine Patrol would take some action in this regard. Shame on them.

WB17Y, Thank you for your post. It sure does shed some light on what happened to us. The next time I choose to anchor in that location, I will have my camera at the ready. Apparently this has been going on way to long.
