I gotta agree with Dave here. That is a typical law enforcement approach it seems to me. They put you on defensive so that if you are hiding something you are more likely to slip up than if you are calm and relaxed. And, you have to admit that you gave him cause for concern by remeasuring on the beach. Gotta remember that he has probably seen all kinds of guys land with no measuring device or think they can transport to the beach/dock to measure. It is aimed at the guy that is hiding something and the rest of us just have to suffer through it. If you had just come back with " You can never be too sure", I am sure the entire episode would have been much lighter. Once you realize that this is a typical approach, it becomes amusing. Believe me, I was pissed off on more than 1 occasion when approached like this before I noticed a pattern. It is a small price to pay for keeping poachers at bay (or is that away from the bay?).
