BI, I don't know what I can say that will placate you, but I will make this statement: while I am president of SBONH, there will be no attempts by said organization, front door or back door, to overturn or subvert the SL.

The SL is the law of the land now and I support it. I want everyone that recreates on our Lake to have a good experience, to have fun and be safe. I want the MP to enforce the laws that allow that.

What I (personally) don't care about is:

1. Someone that decides to drop anchor next to an island designated a wildlife sanctuary and sleeps aboard his/ her boat overnight.

2. That there are 4 boats tied together in a raft or that the rafted boats are too close to the ones next to them.

3. A boat over 26' having a bell onboard as a backup to their electric horn (a whistle or airhorn would be a perfectly acceptable substitute). The CG only requires a bell for boats longer than 60' IIRC.
