With that being said, I think we have to be realistic. I don’t think unlimited speed on the lake is realistic. While I don’t have a problem with it, I believe the general pubic would. I think we need to come up with a realistic number both sides can live with, and certainly not an arbitrary number like 45. We should use this forum to gather the opinion of all boaters.

So the question is: What is an appropriate limit?
I think that 60 during the day is prudent speed especially in the Broads. Maybe other areas of the lake could remain at 45? Not sure on that one. Night speed should be 30-35.
