I am a sailor and a sometime fisherman. Note that both of these are relatively quiet experiences. I don't begrudge those who desire action toys - I just wish they would do that at a reasonable distance.

I do begrudge anyone who thinks that hip-hop (or any other form of "music") should be heard by the waterskier/wakeboarder they are towing. THAT is rude and inexcusable... it denies quiet enjoyment of the lake by others. Sometimes that cacophony cares all of the way across the lake. It's the new culture of "In yo face!"

On a hot summer day when I am nearly (or fully) becalmed in my sailboat, inevitably, some power freak will rumble (or roar) by at maximum displacement speed. I cannot turn into his wake if I have no way on. The result is that my boat and mates take a severe beating.

Y'all are right: speed - power - hot-dogging do not belong in coves. They should not be perpetrated anywhere near other boats, fishermen, and especially docks and swimmers.

If you are on your dock or having a gathering, I won't be stopping there to fish. If you are in your yard and wave to me, I will wave back. BUT, if I feel I am in any way being intrusive... I'll move on.

TWO RULES:

#1 - The Golden Rule
#2 - Personal freedom ends when it deprives another of his or hers.
