Funny story, but my inlaws have a raft with a fake owl on it so birds don't land on it. Bass fisherman one day was floating by and had a fish on. He got tangled up with the raft. He climbed on it to untangle his line. In doing so he stumbled on the owl and broke it. Two days later they had a brand new owl with a card in a ziplock bag taped to it apologizing. Kind of restored a little bit of what I had for humanity.

Thinking about the original post and it dawned on me that 300 yards is almost 1/5 of a mile nearly out of range of a human voice on the lake.....and an elderly man swimming that far to yell at them?
Looks more like a hit at the 1% crowd
it's not just evil, selfish shorefront owners that are always at fault. Some rafters are not exactly enviromental stewards, evidenced by cans, bottles, paper and the occasional diaper and condoms that wash up on peoples beaches and many owners report that they have to listen to stereo's with hiphop music sprinkled with lyrics that include the F bomb.

Agree Samiam. To put it in scale at the lake, If you're sitting on the Naswa beach its less than 200 yards across the channel. 300 is a looong way off shore.

The lake for me is about having fun and relaxing & Life is just to short to get into battles with the 1% percent of ___ fill in the blank people that own houses on the water or boaters who think they own the water.
