Default big boats

This thread strikes me hypothetical and fatuous. There is NO WAY big boats will be limited on Winni. We were on our beach yesterday and a boat at least 500 yards out was trolling at the perfect huge wake speed (as they are wont to do). Monster wakes hit us. I'm talking 2-3 footers but frankly this is NOTHING vs a windy day on Windy Point Rd at South point. Mother nature will cause far more damage than a few big boats.

Just to be clear, as the OP--please go back and read the original post. We are simply looking for photos and other info on sources of erosion. This has a very real impact on phosphorous levels which reduce water clarity, increase plant growth, and hurt the general quality of the lake we all love. Our goal is to identify these sources and develop sensible mitigation plans so that the lake is as beautiful for our children and grandchildren as it is for us.

I'm not familiar with Windy Point Rd--but that looks like something we should check out. Thanks!
