When moving fast, he's moving that acre with him -- fast. There should be a suitable term for calculating the acres of lake water surface "being used" per moving boat.
3) What was the count on kayaks?

Hey APS...
You got your math wrong.... An acre is approximately 43,560 ft/sq. If you assume a boat has to sit in an approximately 150' x 150' box, a boat occupies approximately 22,500 ft/sq. Just a smidge over 1/2 acre per boat.
