I posted up in #20 that the
actual #1 cause for loon deaths (given by the experts) is from lead poisoning, and the #2 reason was being struck by powerboats.
Paddlers and wakes are not the main cases (although wakes can destroy their nests).
Yes, people control boats - it is the action of people that determine how fast a boat goes (within the boats capabilities).
Guess what? The speed limit controls the people!
So perhaps you should all think of this bill as a people-speed limit, rather than a law against boats - which many here have been suggesting.
