Forgot number two

Imagine large lakes like Winni or Champlain, so congested by kayakers and canoes in the main channels, that everyone is reduced to headway speed. I know one person here that would simply love that

But they'd be causing such a problem for the main lake, that laws would have to be implemented to restrict their travel lanes, or even have special lanes created just for them. Sounds like a bad idea? Perhaps.

The point being, moderation is nice, and everyone has to make allowances and compromises on the water. That even includes kayaks. I get miffed sometimes when the large sailboats take up the whole bay, but this is first and foremost a great sailing lake, and they belong here too. Besides, I once had a sailboat, and I love to gawk at them

Courtesy everyone, there's a time and a place for everything.
