There is no contradiction.

The problem is not the type of boat. The problem is increasing numbers of that type of boat on an already overcrowded lake. The problem is that as other large lakes enact speed limits, Winni becomes the place to go if you want speed.

I love speed. But speed is not appropriate when it interferes with the rights of others to enjoy this beautiful lake. Such interference is real and growing.

Many years ago I directed a children's camp in NH. I can't imagine the anxiety camp directors on Winni must have sending their children out on this lake. I know some camps now keep their children on shore on weekends. When I weigh that against the "right" of the few to go fast, the answer is simple. Speed limits!
