Islander, if we want to get into the "you guys" stereotyping syndrome why are "you guys" being the speed limit proponents saying that the GFBL's are the only ones that Evenstar should stay away from??? The ones that are taking away your personal freedoms? Don't you think that there are plenty of other boats on the lake that can exceed the proposed speed limit? There are pontoon boats with outboards that can exceed 45mph and I am not talking about the ones with I/O's and thru-hull exhausts like the Manitou. My 21' fishing boat is capable of 53-55mph with a 225 optimax, does this make me a GFBL? I think not.

I never stated that Evenstar should take her kayak elsewhere. I do not see the lake as being a place dangerous enough where I would not want to kayak there myself. If she feels that threatened about her safety and bashes boaters in general why would she want to come to Winni at all? That was my question.

I do not think that the GFBL's are trying to force anyone off the lake, they are not trying to take away anyones liberties. However the speed limit proponents are.
