Why buy a "yard" some place where you are going to be frustrated by people enjoying a nearby natural resource peacefully?

These things go both ways, and I agree that people shouldn't purposefully try to antagonize each other. However if you establish a trend of allowing landowners to push boaters out beyond acceptable and legal limits it will only lead to the erosion of enjoyable locations overall.
