Boating etiquette question

donnamatrix · 08-20-2010, 11:45 AM

It can be quite annoying to go to Wolfeboro (or any port on the lake really) to find that somebody has taken more dock space than he should... but really, you should only touch somebody else's boat if that boat is in danger-and retying the lines will secure that boat. I admit I have yearned to jump on the dock, untie the lines and move a boat to make room for us to dock ... but that's just my impatience! I would be quite irritated if someone moved our boat. I can see where screaming and fisticuffs could result.
