Once he did get past the car, he still stayed in the passing lane as it apparently is his right to drive slow in the passing lane and never get out of it. Now, these old jerks have always been there, but yesterday I was in a near road rage on him.

And it's not just me, all around people have dug in and become immovable in their opinions and actions. They just don't care what you think.

Hahahaha!
Rude ? Intolerant? Unglued? Don’t care what you think? Hahahaha
Hey Pal... read your post
Like you got it from someone else...

Since the election ? Hahahaha hahahaha Hahahaha

This thread is a waste of time and energy

Blakely Harbor, is very close to Blake Island but on a different island and fairly far from Blakely Island. Yes, Puget Sound can be confusing.

I like that anchorage the view is nice, don't know why ya'll are so down on cities, most times of the year it's fairly deserted. But there's that boat Sliver was usually docked, there worth a look.

Where I am there is a nearby island officially named Guernsey Island. You know what everyone calls it around here? WeeBall.

I guess they forgot the apostrophe … and the “s” .

WeeBall...
What do they call Alderney & Sark?

Now, don't go laughing too hard here, guys, there's a Moo Ball in New South Wales. It is a village. Not too sure I'd admit hailing from there.....

The crew would have been taking orders from the Skipper. That doesn’t make them arrogant, impolite or “Jerks”.
Please continue your tirade with your explanation of your correlation between “Rich” and “Jerks”

It is very simple. Anybody richer than the OP is a jerk. Anybody poorer than he, is a bum.

He has the whole world figured out.

Although the bay in question has been mentioned in cruising handbooks, and guides, for its view of the night lights of Seattle, that does not mean that normal anchoring rules do not apply. The primary concerns have to do with enough swinging room, and how (on Labor Day Weekend) to maximize the numbers of safe spots. Sorry that one guy was unhappy at the sight of a 23 m. long one-off silhouette in the middle of his view, but such crowding is natural. And if the guy with the big boat wanted to show his guests the night lights, well, that's just something to accept, no matter how much class prejudice one has. There have always been the ultra rich in yachting. It's a fact of life.

No one's cruising grounds are perfect, and one is limited if one can only go out on holidays, but one shares this limitation with a whole lot of other people who just want to go out and enjoy their boats.

Right on Ann. Years ago, back in the early 80’s, I sailed my 29’ Cascade down to Cabo, met this guy in the bar and we had a pleasant conversation- he invited me over to his boat . Turned out to be a mega yacht. Got back out to my tiny sailboat ⛵️ and he called me on the radio and issued the invite again. I couldn’t take the dinghy cause my crew had lost it on the beach somewhere in a drunken stupor the night before and they hadn’t regained consciousness to go try to find it (no one was going to steal it- it didn’t hold air very well and had no outboard- so I swam over for a visit. The radios erupted with chatters and warnings to the fellows boat I was boarding, to which he replied “he’s my guest”.
