Sometimes we all have to vent about inconsiderate boaters so lets hear your stories. My most recent was my trip to lake Sonoma 2 weeks ago. I get there and everything is great. Load up the boat with camping gear out of the way. Launch the boat and my dad and friends are all in the boat circling the ramp while I park the truck. Everything is going great. Set up camp, water sucks cant wakeboard but hey I am camping and out on the water so everything is still great. Some friends come and we have a great night. Next morning pick up some more friends and have some lunch, good times. Of course here comes the rant; A boat comes in and starts using the shoreline in our cove. 8 people in a 7 passenger boat. Kids with no lifevests. Whatever im still not too mad because they seem to be pretty respectfull. Then the boat leaves and comes back with another boat load of people. They start using a abandoned campsite to bbq. Then the guy goes back to the dock 3 more times to pick up people. Now there are 30 people all over the place being disrespectfull. There kids are throwing rocks and about a foot away from my boat. I ask them very nicely not to throw rocks by my boat and there dad says "stop throwing rock you little Fa*it. and then once i leave he lets the kid keep throwing rocks. Then there are 4 kids on a two person tube floating away with no life jackets into the middle of the lake. Then the tube flips over and they have a hard time getting back onto it. This right here is how accidents happen and kids die. One of the kids is calling his mom a As*hole and she calls him a ba*tard. This goes on for a hour untill I just cant take it anymore I cant even leave my boat because the kids are throwing rocks by it and there parents don't care. So i go all the way to the dock, walk to the ranger station which you all know is one long walk if you have ever been there and tell the ranger. They finally come and find out the people payed for a campsite so that they could day use it but they are only allowed 8 people. The ranger along with the sherriff doesn't site him, and assures me that he will be gone by sundown. Me and the other campers tell the ranger that now we can't relax until after sunset. Basically they didn't do anything. Then my friend goes to get something out of my boat and one of the dad's of course all these parents are irresponsible and in there early 20's. The dad tells his kid to tell my friend " we didn't touch your boat foooo" after that we all went down to the water inspected the boat and then decided we would take a sunset drive to the marina and explore the lake and listen to music since we figure they wouldn't do anything to my boat until there last trip out. It took them over 2 hours to move all those people out but we did have a nice 15 mph cruise around the lake and just enjoyed the scenery. The thing was that I was having a great time until someone came and ruined it not just for me but for all the campers at that camp ground.
