But for real, I agree more with Woodsy than the person above who said he gets mad if one person anchors in front of his place.

The water is owned by everyone and homeowners need to accept that when buying—especially those who buy in front of a sandbar or other popular place.

That being said, there's a balance to be had both ways in terms of respect.

I think it depends on the person. If the boat is well-mannered, I agree that they should be welcomed with a smile.

But personal sentiments aside, I'm surprised that you think it's in any way OK for the scene in that photo--it's completely out of balance.

I didn't say I was ok with that scene. I said there's a balance to be had in terms of respect—people who anchor in front of homes and people who own those homes.

Like anything, there's a saturation point—one of my consistent complaints about the Dive was that they stretched that point...especially in regards to using WAM sandbar almost exclusively. As someone who enjoyed going there, I was annoyed at how often my experience was tainted by its presence and can totally understand how others, including the homeowners there, were too.

A question about Braun Bay, though—where are the houses on that side?! I can't see any when anchored out over there.

You mean like the guy who anchored in front of my place and then wizzed off the transom. That kind of sets the tone for my attitude.
