Is the lake safer....I would say no. Too much arrogance by many of the boats. People still do not respect the lake. On Sunday, we had a boater 100 ft off our property who stopped by to relieve himself. Just got wet to his waste off the rear of his boat while he performed his business, but my grandkids watched the whole thing. You are correct...cannot fix stupid. The wave wake people are destroying the shoreline by driving slow with boats overladen with water bladders as they surf 5 feet off the boats stern.....we see huge wakes in small coves. Interesting the environmental folks drive us nuts if we want to move a rock and these folks go unbridled as they disturb and reduce the shoreline. Time to have the environmentalists step forward and eliminate this nuisance.

Oh I can agree with the wake boaters (in general). They make a massive wake, and they never seem to be far from shore. I am up in Maine this week on Long Lake, and there are quite a few. The place we are staying at has a rocky shoreline so no issue with erosion, but I could see how it would anger some shorefront property owners.
