To Further emphasize what OCD has said. While you could look at organizations like SBONH, as watch dogs. How they interpret that roll can be vastly different then what is expected.

SBONH, has never been about dictating the right way and wrong way to use our waterways. As a public resource, it is for the public at large to decide how the waterways will be used. What SBONH has been endeavoring to do is make sure that proper processes and controls are in place, and that when laws are passed they make sense.

It makes perfect sense to make an area a no-rafting or no-wake zone, when the abbutters all agree that it is in the best interest of the area to do so.

Hence in this instance, a petition was issued, and people signed in agreement that there was a reason to declare this area of the lake a NRZ. AS part of the process all abbutters to the area in question where notified, as so was the public at large. So the process was followed. SBONH made sure of that.

Now if no one raises a concern about the issue, why would SBONH go out and start sending up Red Flags all over the place, for no reason, when there is no evidence to support this as a bad idea, or not in the best interest of the area.
