I see all kinds of walls, dams, jetties and such on the shore where erosion would obviously be a problem otherwise; somebody had to build them, and it wasn't free.

Sorry Dave, building walls, jetties and such for a rare flood just doesn't seem reasonable nor would the DES agree. What is more reasonable would be a lakewide NWZ after the lake reaches a certain point over full lake. I find it interesting at the number of people who harp on shorefront owners, blaming them for the decrease in water quality, yet, when it is their turn to help prevent silting up the lake by running at no wake they refuse to do so. That said, I think most boaters did get it and either left their boats at home or travelled at headway speed. All except one of the large cruisers and GFBL boats I saw were travelling at headway speed. All in all boat traffic was way down for a Memorial day weekend. So to those of you who stayed at no wake speeds or stayed off your boat, thank you. To those of you who didn't, well I hope you enjoyed yourselves.
