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".

Do you really think it is appropriate to besmirch this man? He has been serving the state for many years. He lives in the region. He has been involved in boating safety for a long time. But you think calling him names is the best way to refute his statements?
As to his statement, do you think it would be any more dangerous to travel down the broards at 160 mph today or 45 mph? I mean today 1/11/06, there is not a boat on the lake.
