[quote=GWC...]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.[quote]
That’s just not true! Don’t you even read my posts? How were we exceeding our limits???? Our abilities had nothing at all to do with our fear. I posted this as clearly as I know how: “I honestly felt unsafe because of the number of boats that were traveling at high speeds (well about 45 mph).”

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?

Winni is not beyond my limits – and my abilities have nothing whatsoever to do with a speed limit.
It’s easy to slam someone on a message board. Are you an expert paddler? You must be to think that you’re qualified to question the abilities of another paddler. How many miles did you kayaked last season? I can out paddle most guys and would be surprised it anyone on the forum could match my paddling abilities.
What right do you have to suggest that any NH resident doesn’t have the right to use any NH lake – without the fear of being run over? I certainly have the right to fight for any law that I believe in!
Paddlers were on Winni for centuries before powerboats. My grandfather canoed and kayaked on Winni over 50 years ago. Some of us are not willing to just hand Winni over to the hi-speed powerboats without a fight.
HB-162 doesn’t ban any type of vessel! If this law passes, you can still boat on Winni.
If you need to go faster than this law will permit – there’s this place called the OCEAN.
