HarryS,
I agree that can be the case. On our usual winter trip we have our safe place, the portion of the beach that knows us and we are not hassled beyond the no thank you level. This summers trip was a totally different experience, different part of the beach with people that didn't know us. I dealt with it but was with someone new that made a statement that could be viewed as an offer to possibly buy something and it went down hill from there. I got him out of it but it was an ordeal and I don't want to do that again.

That being said we are booked for February and are taking newbies. May need to offer a little more advanced education prior to the trip. It'll also be back in our winter spot.
