Angry people pointing fingers at my drone and taking photos of it

The boat is a tourist launch with seating and a glass bottom for viewing marine life, so my guess is that any tourists on board would simply be interested to see a drone out flying and probably boat chasing and filming. Most people would just wave. If it was a private vessel with potentially naked frolicking and partying going on, on board, I would use discretion and fly away ……. unless you knew them and had gained permission before they left the dock. In that case, they might have liked to get a copy of some pics and video emailed to them. It is all about mutual respect and courtesy. 
Thats why you have no idea what they were thinking.
Angry? Hmmm...it's none of my business what others are thinking. Would not have bothered me in the least.
It irks me how you can walk around with a camera and take as many photos as you want of whatever you want and nobody bats an eyelid.
You put a camera overhead in the air usually at a much greater distance and people kick off.
Muppets tbh, do they think the camera has an X-ray lens or something?
A neighbour a few doors down from me was moaning about my drone being outside her property. 'Didnt feel comfortable with it being there' she said.
For one it wasn't outside her property, it was in a field a good distance away. The camera was pointing in the opposite direction and it hovered there for like 10 secs while I executed my waypoints.
However she doesn't seem to mind a double decker bus full of people staring into her window when the bus stops directly outside her property!

Maybe there was something more interesting behind your drone?
Maybe they were friends of Edward Snowden and afraid that they were about to be taken out? Did you ever think about that?
I visited the Italian lakes a couple of years back & took some footage with my Mavic 2 pro - when I got back & reviewed the footage I saw this...
I had to call 911 this week because of crazy neighbor’s. People are jealous (Mod Removed Language) Land that can be their nature.
I have the FAA authorization to the air space. That is all that matters to me. Fly within the law and always safety first.
I hate this culture of drugged out paranoid idiots. That is exactly what I am dealing with.

Check no-fly zones on ENAIRE Drones
You need the EU certification in order to fly here.
You can fly over people, but not over groups of people
Maximum allowed height is 394ft (120 meters)
If that were me on the boat and I saw drone fFOLLOWING MEOUT TO SEA, I'd be angry and maybe consider if it was a government drone and get pretty angry about the government following me. heck, if you were following me just walking around, I'd get angry then, as well. I think what you done was rude.
I do not understand why people get so bent out of shape over a drone flying overhead. Yet thousands of people every where are are walking around taking videos with their cell phone and nobody sees that as an invasion of privacy. An iphone 13 has such a powerful zoom that could take a video/pic of someone well anywhere in any environment and they would no be bothered.
We have a neighbours WhatsApp and the latest piece of paranoia is a police drone flying over the road. I have no idea if it is police (it wasn't me!), I doubt drones can be set up to record speeding but they could spot people not stopping at a dangerous stop sign but it is in a forbidden area - helipads and a small airport. When they spot a drone people tend to think they are being spied on for nefarious purposes.
A government drone following you?
I've never heard anyone suggest that the government follows people with drones.
Your imagination is overactive.
Well, I have to say that I'd be annoyed if someone I didn't followed me around with a cell phone and shot photos or videos of me. Would you not?
That's certainly not to say that every drone that flies nearby is photographing or videoing someone. But many people assume that to be the case.
Drone's? Of course not. The government and the New World Order both rely on invisible helicopters. I read it on Twitter.
With one exception, I've only dealt with curiosity. Yesterday at the beach I had a whole family gawking and waving. The kids all whipped out their phones to take pics so my drone is probably viral on TikTok now. 
Not long after that I had a guy beg me to take his pic so he could show his friends. I even got the drone shadow in the pic for evidence. He took down the info about the drone and was excited about getting one.
