Does he yell at you for no reason?

I have seen people go through too fast or playing loud music, and I can understand why that might be annoying....
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to live there, no privacy.

I’ve seen him yell at people he thought were going too fast, threatening to send video to the Marine Patrol. (Made me think about goosing my throttle just to watch another tantrum.)

When a loon was nesting in the gut, he fancied himself some sort of self-appointed “protector”, ironically yelling at anyone who slowed down to look or take a pic.

Default Loon Nesting area

It's unfortunate that "Loon Nesting Area" on the chart draws people to the site instead of the intended warning to stay clear.

That's true. And while they are well intentioned they don't understand that they scare the loons and therefore endanger them by driving them out into boat traffic etc. They want to look and take pictures but they don't understand how easily the loons feel threatened.
