I was struck by this comment from Glen"
the last time I swam there, the people renting vacation houses near the back were just like that. Kids screaming and thrashing, mom's yacking and not supervising. It was not peaceful, and I haven't had a yen to swim there since.
Point being, clueless visitors come and rent there as well as coming by bus. Your story about the woman pursuing the honu -- arghh, unbelievable.

The residents are understandably miffed by the busloads of people who love nature so much they could just squeeze it to death. Some people simply do not have a reverence for the pond. They scream, they thrash, they yell, they leave fetid calling cards.
