There's a lady on the point near Y Landing who has been yelling at my boat for over 15 years, saying I pass too close to her dock when I am entering the cove from Bear. Also complains that my headway speed is too fast. When I pointed out that she doesn't own the lake, she replied, "Oh, yes I do."
When I mentioned her to other boaters and the workers at the gas dock, they all recognized her. "She yells at everybody," said one worker.

Maybe toss her a couple more cats?

Are you making a wake when you go close to her dock? Here we go again.

Nope. I have a flat bottom boat and gps shows 5 knots. She has a big boat house, no dock.

Then if you truly are not making a wake, even a small one, she has no reason to yell at you when you go close to her dock.

Then it's especially ironic that she scolds you. She's only allowed the boathouse because it's grandfathered. Today the authorities would say a boathouse is too intrusive on the water.

If there's room, next time pull inside the boathouse, without touching anything. That'll flip her out...

Pick some blueberries on Bear and bring them to her. Explain that it's always nice to be greeted by her, but you've never been able to understand what she's saying, perhaps because you don't always have your glasses on.

Choice #2: When she yells, take the boat out of gear, smile, wave and yell back "Thank you. Thank you. My dog has one blue eye." Put it in gear and off you go, everybody confused and happy.

OH, BTW, if she's a resident, she does own the lake. So do I, along with 1.3 million close friends. And, we also own a chain of liquor stores. What a great place.

Wow she must go mental when the big green YMCA camp boat pulls in there.

When paddle boarding by, watch your wake, or cover your ears. 🙀
