Frank, My first post asked why rafters would impair the loons ability to nest & flourish as opposed to individual or 2 boats together at anchor. Instead of simply providing the answer you decided to accuse me of not knowing the situation. Thats why my 1st post asked that question, to help us on the Forum understand. In a second post I asked the question again, still no answer. So what is the answer? This is the 3rd time I have asked the question. I suspect there is no formal documented evidence.

I also find it interesting that a cove resident spearheaded this petition to protect one of the most important & successful areas on the lake for Loon nesting. Why not Fish & Game or any of the Loon or wildlife organizations. I am not throwing barbs, just making an observation.

For you to generalize all rafters as noisy, drinking slobs who pee in the lake & not show concern for the lake & its wildlife is so far from the truth. You yourself said you were a rafter so where did you pee? I know where myself & all my rafting friends do as I am sure many others do, in the self contained head with the waste tank on the boat that gets pumped out.

My 1st post made some observations & asked a simple question directly related to the Loon issue in Black Cove. It did not throw barbs at any poster or anyone residing in Black Cove. It was you who took it personal & to the next level.

And no, I will not give out my e-mail or phone # to strangers for obvious reasons. You can answer on the Forum for all to read & understand if you wish.
