At some point you might make the decision that boating isn't for me and find some other activity.

It's this kind of disdain for the happiness of others that makes the whole thing less pleasant for all, regardless of the specific rules

Right?!
That attitude can be applied to so many activities...

I didn't expect this kind of feedback. And where did you get disdain for the happiness of others? I'll rephrase the intention of my post. If everyday boating is like a trip to the Weirs on a busy Saturday with all that chaos I might decide it doesn't make me happy and decide boating isn't for me. What's that got to do with your or anybody else's happiness?

I took it as being dismissive of the previous poster's disappointment with his boating experience. Essentially, you telling him/her to "get out, if you don't like it."

Thanks for clarifying.
