Cheffy ,
BRAVO , well spoken , but unfortunately the worst offenders have a deaf ear when it comes to others opinions. It's their way or no way , just ask them.
In the true interest of safety , how about banning ALL power boats except for the Mount and mail boats. Bet most islanders would change their tunes then(except those with bridges). No gas OR electric power and sail boats limited to 16'. Oh yes , NO aux. power for sailors either . They would be limited to island travel on commercial vessels with paid professional captains. But of course this would come with a fee each time , not to mention the boats schedule and NOT theirs.
Now there will be some mainlanders who would LOVE this proposal because they are sail boaters and would like to return to 1900 and have the lake to themselves. But then they would complain about the wakes from the Mount or SophieC. Some people are never happy unless they have something to complain about. It's just part of human nature

Have a GREAT Christmas
(If I'm still allowed to use the "C" word)





And that could not only be another entire thread , but an entire forum
