Ahem!

"APS post" was a quoted letter to the editor -- authored by a NH Representative. http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...2&postcount=48

Shoot the messenger.

It depends on your perspective.

I will not have had boating safety instruction -- and I stand an excellent chance of becoming what the GFBLs call "a speed bump".

The former speed limit discussion devolved into intimidation and veiled threats by members of the GFBL's Marine Mafia. I just checked that source -- we're OK -- for now.

No-o-o-o-o. 110MPH is too fast.

A 45MPH speed limit will keep away the thrill-seekers banned from the other lakes because they can't risk a ticket against their insurance premiums.

They'll end up in the open salt water for which they were designed, where they can see over their bows, and where they can actually achieve higher speeds due to salt water's density.
