Narrative:
I was observed flying at approximately 100 ft AGL over the marsh. At no time was I closer than 2000 ft to the houses. However; a resident thereof notified the airport that he intended to report this action to the FAA and state aeronautics commission. The area I was over is a wide expanse of salt water marsh with no boats; dwellings or people. I do not feel that my actions were reckless or endangered anyone.
