To most people when there is a lakewide no wake zone, this means no joy ride. To some islanders it means add an hour to every trip. And a late ice out means you can't get to your home.
To most people boats are pleasure craft, to us they are essential transportation. Much more important than having a car on the mainland.

Curious minds need to know:
Which mode of transportation do you utilize when ashore to fulfill your needs?
The lakewide no wake speedlimit is to protect your shorefront property, also, or did you forget?
Again, which mode of transportation do you utilize when ashore to fulfill your needs, if having a car on the mainland is not as important?
Some food for thought:
Try telling a homeless family living in their car that their car is not as important as your boat.
