you guys love the water, the beauty and the serenity kayaking brings.

let's say someone who held a charitable kayaking event on winni every year was told the event couldn't be held on the lake for some reason or another. the alternative was to hold the event in a really large pool in someones backyard. sure, you still want to be charitable but it's not a lot of fun paddling in a pool. now think of that kayak costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to own, another $1-200 to bring the boat to the lake and another $2-300 to run it for the day. do you really want to spend the time and money to paddle in a pool.

these guys trailer their boats to these events and when they drop them in the water, they want to have fun with them. and that fun may include going over 45 mph.

is the event coordinator going to spend money on a charitable event to have half the people show up or are they going to hold a more successful event in a more boater friendly lake?

and we haven't even heard from all the fishermen and their events. they may decide to hold those contests somewhere else also.

sometimes, you can't bake your cake and eat it to.
