Evenstar: The reason that you feel safer in the ocean then you do in Lake Winni. is because there are less boats per sq acre in the ocean then there are in the lake. Same with Squam.
I also race blow boats at a very high level, my brother was #3 in the nation for a while. We have spent more time on boats then most. I could toss my boat in the water on the Maine coast and of course feel safer then I do if I put it in the water in MA behind say "coctail cove" in Essex. In Maine I may not see a single boat all day, in MA I will see and be surrounded by hundreds. In MA there is a speed limit, in Maine there is not. I feel safer in Maine.....
