All these distractions re-enforcing the need for speed limits.
I remember someone saying that good vision is not one of the requirements for a safe boater education certificate. Even more reason to have restricted speeds to help compensate for poor vision and distractions to check your speed on those handheld GPS units.
.... Right?

Hahahaha. That's funny
Checking your speed on the GPS means taking your eyes off the water. Distraction in the name of safety. Got to watch those speed numbers. It's enough to make Speed Limit supporters sleep more soundly and securely.
It should make families, campers and the 190 camp directors feel better about those midnight swims and canoe expeditions
