Exclamation Skip, The man!

I agree with Skip. The webmaster is a grateful host and probably the reason this forum is one of the most talked about forum on the web.

I live on Lake Winni since I was about 7. My parent move to the lake from Winnisquam. At my age, I have to admit, I am well experieced to say a thing or two on this forum.

I occasionally step in to say a thing or two. Enough is enough!

I kayak every morning from sunrise to about 8 or 9 AM. I have no issues with the powerboaters who are respectful at all! The idea of being able to paddle on the lake on a misty morning and hear the loon cry is the best experience I had all my life. To this day I get goosebumps.

There is a time and place for all watercrafts. Be it paddleboats, sailboats or powerboats. If everyone is out at a decent time and everyone recognize each other's place then there shouldn't be a problem. The Captain Boneheads are not limited to skippering powerboats. I have seen them in paddleboats and sailboats as well. Education is a strong tool. Let's get the word out. But to fight for what ails you will have no end in sight.
