Default So much for the voluntary lakewide NWZ!

I was out earlier today, obeying the restriction, and nearly got run over several times! And, it wasn't just the fishermen. One of Capt. Bonehead's relatives in a bowrider loaded with kids went flying by about 30 feet away. One large cruiser (I think that it might have been Manitou) went by pushing a wake that, when it reached the dock, shot up between the boards to more than knee high!

I saw exactly one other boat trying to go along with the NWZ (other than those that were trolling - and they don't count! )

Somehow, I don't think that voluntary is going to cut it. If a lakewide NWZ is going to happen, the MP will need to make it mandatory. But, hopefully by next weekend the lake will be down to a reasonable level again and it won't be needed!
