I have a Formula that I hope to bring up to the lake this summer. It has twin Big Blocks and goes aprox 60 miles per hour. Not the fastest by any stretch but still requires my attention. I have also done a LOT of boating with Biggus and I can attest to his concern for first and for most the safty of the people on his boat and also the people around him. My 65 year old parents took a ride on his boat and really enjoyed it (they have been sailer for about 50-55 years).

I am very disapointed to see a few guys that seem to be so soured by what they precieve as a danger on the lake. The reality is there are less accidents involving high performance boats per cap. then any others on the water nation wide.

Some one asked why it is that we go boating in a lake when the boats are offshore. Most have responded that we can not navigate. Well speaking from my experience I have sailed offshore more then most. This includes overnight sails from the Boston area up to Camden and Southwest Harbor, Nantucket and Nantucket to Tortola. I have been single handing my fathers Hickley since I was 16, and have raced on boats from Melgis's to America Cub boats. Why do I go to the lake then? Well it is simple for all the same reasons you all do. I enjoy the lake and most of the people there.
