I received a email reply from Lt. Dunleavy. He claims he was misquoted.
He says that the 2002 accident was at a speed greater than proposed. He calls the 28 mph speed calculated, not estimated

Okay, could you post your question to Lt Dunleavy and his response?
If there were more than one e-mails invoved please post them as well.
Did you contact the reporter and ask him about the articlel?
Time for you to do your homework. Dunleavy said calculated, vs estimated. Gee, what a difference!
Let's continue to play the word games shall we...
The American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Editon:
Calucated:
1. To ascertain by computation: reckon
2. To make an estimate of; evaluate.
3. To fit for a purpose; make suitable for
Estimate:
1. To calculate approximately the extent or amont of.
2. To form an opinion about; evaluate
3. A judgement based upon one's impressons; opinions
So, was it 28, 23 or 30? You tell me!
BTW: I haven't seen any of you address the issue that out of 101,626 registered boats in NH that only 35 were involved in accidents in 2004 and NONE were related to speed and none invovled fatalities. Just thought I'd point that out!
