And I’m not alone in having this opinion. My best friend was more scared out there than I was.

One should know one's limits and not exceed them.
You experienced a feeling of fear because you exceed your limits, as did your friend.
There are plenty of water bodies in NH were you are within your limits and are able to enjoy the experience without feeling fearful. Squam being one.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
Why do you feel a need to "spin" your posts to impose a speed limit upon others on a body of water that is obviously beyond your limits?
Why can you not enjoy the beauty of Squam and leave the Lake the way it is; rather than trying to impose your will upon those who enjoy the Lake as it is?
How happy would you be if a group of concerned citizens decided to seek legislation to ban kayaks from large bodies of water in NH, including Squam?
Squam has a speed limit. Great!
The Lake does not. Great!
Take a wild guess where you need to kayak so that you and your friend may enjoy life and all the pleasures Mother Nature offers.
Life is short - live within your limits and kayak were you are happy and feel safe. A beautiful place already exists where you and your friend may do just that - Squam.
