My posts on this forum usually are constructed to provoke a response from the recipient. You learn a lot about a person and their true beliefs that way. I don't let personal attacks bother me--it says more about the responder than me. It's interesting to see the possible effects of alcohol on the responses of some people, isn't it?
I have seen the effects of speed on this lake and it bothers me. Years ago I was a near witness in a drowning caused by youth, beer, and stupidity. A drunk 16 year old boy jumped from a boat towing a 15 year old girl on an inter-tube; knocked her off the inter-tube and out of her ski belt. She went down in 90 feet of water, surfaced 12 days later. Everyone came to our dock. Two years later, the driver of that boat was killed at night by a speeding boat, while sitting still in the water in the same boat--with no lights on.
Last summer a close adult relative riding a SeaDoo (too fast) stuck the nose of the boat in a large wake in main channel near Blue Creek. Broke his arm, required surgery, and ruined his summer. He was riding alone, no one tried to help (or saw him). Ever try to climb on a SeaDoo with a broken arm.
I've got seven grandchildren that I hope will grow up enjoying this lake as much as all of us have enjoyed it, but we have to re-gain control of what happens on the lake. We all have to act responsibly. If I can convince just one person on this forum, that is anti-law, to accept the fact that the law is required to improve the lake--then the effort is well worth it.
Don't know why the interest in my age by everyone, but I'm not as old as the president, or Hillery, or Bill.
