Take a look at the photo galleries of some of the islanders like RG or IG, some of the excellent pictures taken will show what I was getting at.
I get your point, but you seem to be missing mine entirely. My point is that many people (like me) own sea kayaks, which are made for large bodies of water, so there are very few times that the weather (during the boating season) has prevented me from going out on any NH lake. My boat is made handle wind and large waves. Your solution is that I stay off the main lake, as only the power boaters belong out there. This is the sort of selfish attitude that seems to be the main argument of most people who are opposed to having a speed limit. I just don't get it.
