A noble position Bear Islander.

This is not like the speed limit thread where opinions and statistics are debated. Here we are just talking about facts. I don't like the safety certificate reciprocity we have now however I have no idea how to remedy the problem. As BI said, it is harder to change it than we might think it is.

Give him a break. Bear Islander can quote the law on the safety certificate even though he is outspoken and misguided about the need for more speed limits .


Safe boating for all.
