Well, since I’m stuck at home with Covid and bored, I figured I’ll get the inmates a little riled up here.

So who is in the right and who is in the wrong here? Discuss.

Who'd want to even be near jackholes like that? You decide which are the jackholes.😂
.
But, by the way the one chick talking with cops reacted right at end of video you can guess what they told her.😊

the question is, "did they end up parking there".


For the life of me, why would you want to park there and have an issue, later. Just to prove a point? People are nuts these days and do stupid shit without thinking, I don't want to be on the receiving of someone doing something stupid.

I read about this dick measuring contest on FB. Glad there’s a video to go with it.

Pretty ballsy to try and save that much real estate on a busy weekend. I think the guy on the beach is looking for a problem. Off weekend, different story.

Covid is still a thing? Can’t get it if you don’t test for it.

Don't ruin my pity party. 😝 I had fever for two days and at the tail end of it. My wife tested positive today after three days of being sick so she's going through it now. I'm glad to get it out of the way for this year so I don't have to worry about getting it again until next year. I can lick all the door knobs I want going forward.

Maybe the boat operator wanted to use the restrooms? Get a pizza delivered? Pick up friends or family? I can't imagine wanting to spend much time next to people like this.

This is an old
Video. In the extended version the cops end up dealing with the people that were in the water..

That said who’d want to park next to assholes like that. I’d move on.

I’m the kind of guy that if there is room or we can make room come on in.

Plus he put his wife at the receiving end of the children's end of the swimming pool.

Looks like disneyland but with your own boat....I hate disneyland.

For those that do this...what's the point of loading up your whole day of shit in the boat, launching the boat...motoring over to a crowded ass spot in the channel, sitting there all day with people like this, then motoring back to the ramp to pull the boat out at the end of the day? That's not "boating" and it doesn't look like a good time. I leave the city to get away from people, not park closer to them

Well I guess the same could be argued for why go find a secluded cove and sit there all day as well.

I don’t particularly enjoy the channel myself.. when it’s in full swing and you have ten stereos all playing distortion etc.. it actually raises my anxiety levels a bit and I don’t get anxiety.. 😳.

Inversely sitting in a cove by myself all day I get stir crazy in the minutes.

Brings back childhood memories of the boat captain having to take out his revolver and shoot the hippopotamus on the jungle cruse.

Only thing for sure, the channel needs more alligators.

Had the same situation happen right next to me last Sunday, the boat just kept coming in. I enjoyed the show. If that was last Sunday I was gonna pull in there, 2 open boat spaces, but they waved me off, looks like the same peeps. I just kept going and found a spot. I thought is was bullshit that they were taking up 2 spots on a busy day, but I don't want to be where I'm not wanted. I'm not one to spend the day in the channel, but I like the people watching in the afternoon on my way back in. I'm with Dave on making space if someone wants to park by me, met some great peeps that way and enjoyed having a beer with them. Seems like if it's boat parking then people shouldn't be allowed to set up camp with no boat just like we can't park in the no mooring spots.

By myself?
Sure.

Bring the whole family, it makes it way more fun and no anxiety😉

Kidding aside, you have a boat now!
When I was a kid we camped in a cove for a few days. Out of an 18 Hallett flatty 😂

It was a pretty relaxing deal.
Morning ski run, (early morning fishing for me the kid) then the ski run.
Afternoon lunch, some times go back into the canyon behind the cove and plink the little 22 rifle, or take a rip up and down the lake of the water was cool that day(a problem you won’t have😂) and more fishing, floating, laughing, campfires, donkey wandering into camp, and being a family.
Away from all the shit that gives us anxiety😂

In my younger days, depending on my mood that day, it would be “Game On”. As I grew older, I’d just move on. Then, no Holiday weekends for me! Finally, only weekday trips! Sucks gettin old!

Im an asshole. I would park there

As you should.
It's just not for me.

On a different beach, way up river, I had some kind of leak. Pulled in to the first available beach. They didn't like that so much. Probably 40 feet away from their group of several boats.
It ended up being supply line hose and the flywheel met at one point, and caused a leak. Mended the hose and went on my way.
Rude people.
Their 'beach' , lol
Whatever.

I hope that you are doing well @shintoooo Licking door knobs is not anything to worry about. It is when you start licking windows that you should be concerned. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Here is To a speedy recovery to you and the Mrs.!!!

I think the same exact people did the same thing to me last year on the north side of the channel. Total assholes who clearly just have zero respect for anyone else. As soon as the chick opened her mouth I put it in reverse and told her to F herself as I left. Must be miserable to live such a negatilve life. If there’s sand next to me all are welcome just dont be an asshole! 👍🏼

I broke down on parker just up river from castle rock shores as it was getting dark out. Good thing i was staying at castle rock. Paddled into shore and the people on the beach said we couldn't park there. I said sorry but I'm broke down. They didn't care and wanted me off thier section of beach. They followed me for a bit creating a scene as I was walking to my truck and trailer on the other side of the park.

I enjoy the channel at the end of the day, we almost always end our day there to people/boat watch....that being said, if I have to move my boat over a few inches so someone else could squeeze in, I have no problem with that....

These people on the beach are the same caliber people that took over Glamis and have ruined it! We are suppose to be a community of people that come together and help one another. Now The Bud light bandits have taken over!
