It is really amazing the problems with speed limits on the big lake. We have seen two accidents this year that were of high speed, but I think that at least one of them was achol related. A boat goes out of water into the trees you cannot say the person was doing minimal speed. But then achol is involved and who knows. He would not have been obeying the speed limits anyway.

As the boating season comes to a close, may we all take the handbook out over the winter and review it more than once. Even the best needs to review. That is a form of boaters education maybe their will be something learned that one did not realize, Like while some boats are made of wood that does not mean they should return to the trees.
