not be a hot topic: We have already seen that a night-time speed limit is only another accident away. Other restrictions are inevitable, given our increasingly-anarchic boating environment.
Nobody asked that the NHMP become a "Police State". In fact if the MPs were simply paid time-and-a-half overtime to work the weekends (and take off two days during the week) I'd have no heartburn over that. Why should I restrict my own boating just because it's a weekend? Personal safety?
They also need to bring back the "MP Auxillary". A half-dozen of those truly devoted boaters with flashing blue lights situated near "the usual suspects" would do wonders -- for free!
(The Auxillary also have a stake in the Lakes Region Community --worth
much more than money).
