A question of paranoia.

In my personal experience... the rudest people are the commercial fishermen... especially those crab and lobster pot guys.... fortunately they have been banned in our area to give it a chance to recover.

BTW, my previous comment about Dr Laura was in regards to your friend's symtoms not your general comment on the temperment of the modern boater.

It's a little odd that your friend says everywhere he goes people are rude and suspicious acting. What's the common denominator? Are the resources of this country such that everyone on a 'watchlist' can have surveillance? I don't know how that would work.

Yes, That is the reason for my first part of the question. It seems very unlikely to me too.

If he is on a watch list, he must have seriously ticked off the wrong people.

Cheers....

I consider a barking dog at a quit anchorage rude behavior.

That is why I am questioning his mental stability. He is 72-73 and seems normal in all other dealings, but in this instance, he is positive that some one is out to get him and his dog. He spends a lot of time alone and I wonder if he is just letting his mind run amock.

It is hell to get old and be alone.
