No Wake- Gov/Eagle

I'm sure that the people that read this forum understand the changes with that have occured on the lake. I'm 39 years old and my family has owned property/business here for over 50 years. I'm frustrated with the boaters that have taken over the lake. The ones that do no obey the law or take the time to understand it. My family and I were travelling from Paugus to Lockes Island the morning of July 4th. There were a few boaters in the channel that don't understand head way speed, specifically a cabin cruiser that almost went over on the port side as he left the dock just before the bridge on the right.

My biggest issue is the area that is now a No Wake Zone between Eagle and Governor's Islands. There were a total of 4 boats that proceeded at a speed higher than headway speed. If people aren't going to take the time to learn about the changes on the lake then the state needs to do something to enforce the changes. How about educating the boaters at the various gas docks on the lake? Every boater needs gas! The can also change the no wake markers so they look more official. The ones between Eagle and Gov look like they were purchased at the marine supply store.

I feel better now!
