I'm not for banning anyone from the lake. I've stated that before, several times. I have nothing against power boats, as long as they obey the boating rules and that they respect my right to use the lake also.

My points really aren't about speed but tolerance to allow people with different ideas of recreation to enjoy a large lake. And also that speed and noise are not as closely related as some lead you to believe, you can address one or the other separately.
How much tolerance am I as a kayaker supposed to have? Am I to just accept that I can't use the main lake, for fear of being run over? All I've tried to say is that I have just as much right to safely use the main lake as anyone. But that right is being taken away. Have I even once complained about noise? I don't like excessive noise, but it's my safety and my right to use the lake that I'm more concerned about.

... I just bought a boat that allows me to go out on the lake no matter how rough rather than try to restrict how other people enjoy the lake.
I also just "bought a boat that allows me to go out on the lake no matter how rough". But my new boat is a 15.5' sea kayak.
