I.L. - In many ways, I agree with your fears,
but I'd like to propose even more stringent solutions!

Just a Suggestion
A strong (and unsurprising) pattern seems to be emerging in this thread showing that BUI is a major contributing factor to boating accidents of all kinds.
Whether or not we, as individuals,...

Ok, BL....
you finally named a GFBL that I agree with you on! 130 mph is way over the edge, and I don't want to share the lake with somebody going that fast, casually, either!:eek: Though that's as much...

An observation and a Question

I wasn't aware of "competing harms" as a legal concept. Basically, I go by "what ever's necessary to avoid anybody getting hurt"!
As for the sub, if it's at periscope depth, all I'd need to do is...

Hi Pepper
Getting on-water training from a pro is a great idea; the lake would be a better place if everyone did so!
