I am certainly not going to bash you....
Patrician is definitely getting a bit more crowded. Its the unintended consequences of "No Rafting Zones" on the lake. This year the NHMP have decided to target the NRZ as the regulation to enforce.... 2 guys on jetskis and one patrol boat swoop into Braun Bay (and West Alton) and start writing tickets! Kind of a waste of resources, but the wealthy land owners across the bay have obviously decided to force the issue!
I personally dont care if there is 1 row or 3 rows of boats as long as nobody is bumping... the lake belongs to everyone! I dont get too twisted if someone parks over my anchor line, its easy enough to politely ask them to move when I go to leave. I find it to be ALOT less stressful if you greet people with a nice hello and offer to lend a hand positioning thier boat.... that way you can kind of "help" put the anchor someplace a little further away. Its everyones lake, and a little courtesy and a lot less me me me go along way to making the lake even more enjoyable!
