Default Common sense

To All,

Seems to me that what we really need here is some simple, common sense.

I'm one of those slow pontoons.. 20' 50HP... I go out on the lake when conditions are "good" for a pontoon. I Don't go to places that are bad for me.. I avoid spots that are not good for me...because of "Chop" or big wakes

The real problem comes from the folks that can clearly see a big old slow pontoon.. and don't seem to understand the "give way" rules... why go roaring in front of me.. and make me change direction to deal with the wake.. when they could just as easily cross my stern?

You know, the lake is for all of us... sailboats, pontoons, jet ski, rowboats and big high powered boats..

I want all of us to enjoy the lake.... we all should want the same thing...

Simple Common Sense... it's not all that hard...
