Aubrey,
Unfortunately, Our MP director does not agree, and that has just fed the flames. Last January, he was asked point blank by one if the RR&D committee members "Surely you must feel that some limit is appropriate. Isn't there some speed that you agree is too high for that lake (referring to Winnipesaukee)? How about 200 miles an hour?"
His response; "No. Speed and safety have no proven relationship in a marine environment. There is no speed so high that it would not be perfectly safe on Lake Winnipesaukee under the right conditons. Its a big lake."
At the moment this exchange was read to me, I understood how he'd earned the nickname "Director of Marine Danger".
