The above quote is why the Unlimited-Speeds people don't get it and have zero empathy for the others afloat on the lake:

It's not how you feel about your own safety, it's how unsafe everybody else feels while afloat in the path of a 70-MPH boat.


Most of "those invisible kayaks" are longer than the boat in this photo, and this boat was right where bbarrell's airborne Baja went by in 2005: we have testimony that a 4-ton boat can become airborne at "only" 50-MPH.

Fortunately, this photo was taken two weeks ago. Unfortunately, we weren't in any test zone.


And yes, that's a young girl swimming behind them—doing a "long swim".

Maybe the 45-MPH daytime limit is set too high for our waters.

I have many more photos, but unless there are more questions, I now yield the floor to those WinnFABS supporters who have had a well-deserved rest.
APS, this is probably the most lame arguement I have ever seen out of you. Come on, I've come to expect better and, according to the data collected at the six test sites, I doubt there is even one instance of a boat going 70 on the lake especially 20 feet from the shore as the rowboat is if I apply your previous photo measurement standards.

You have no real case so now you are taking pictures of rowboats and a swimmer and making things up. Give me a break.
