If boating on Winnipesaukee were truly dangerous, why would it be a more and more popular boating destination? Wouldn't more people stay away and go to other lakes?

Then too, when there is more boat traffic (and especially in congested areas) the vast majority of boaters naturally have a tendency to slow down and be more alert. We hope the MP nails those few bonehead "captains" who exercise no common sense at all. Unfortunately we can't legislate common sense.
