You may recall
Sunsation's factory representative and his comment about

This ban keeps all Sunsation's from boating on [Lake Martin, in Alabama]. If you have any "pull" or wish to help out, let me know. This law includes me, three 32's, two 28's and the 43 with 600's. That 43 is going to this lake...and may affect another five lakes...]"

Some days, it passes me
