I take that back...we've been out on the broads on a particullarly choppy day and my mother did turn green. I have walked among BI and his cronies and they do indeed in my humble opinion want to see a certain type of boat/s taken off the lake. Are they using the speed rationale as their smoke screen? That I can't answer but do have my opinion. Do I get shot dirty looks and glaring stares when I take my shiny new pwc over to BI to pick up relatives to come back to our house?? Yes, quiet often.
I just did a mental calculation. My neighbor to the left has a PWC, as do 4 of the next 7 to the right. That is 5 out of 8 homes with a PWC. To be honest I'm sure that is way over the average. It could be those stares are envy, we love water sports on BI.

Next time you walk among us, please say hello.
