I guess I could have said

"The new Senator for this area stays on Bear Island"

I doesn't make any difference to me, It shouldn't make any difference to anyone else.

You people only care because you think it is an error I have made that you can exploit. The reality is you are pissed! You are on the losing side of an argument you hate to lose. Your arguments do not stand up again real data, real deaths, political reality and public opinion. In your hearts you know the speed limit will pass this time and nothing you can do will stop it. And this has you really pissed.

I can't do this anymore, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. And I am starting to feel sorry for the fish. I hope you all still find this beautiful lake a wonderful place to come to even with a speed limit.

That long beautiful pirate boat went by a while ago, you know the one, it has a skull and cross bones on the side. The people inside were waving and having a great time. I hope things like that never leave this lake.

The only thing that irritates me is when people lie or twist the truth for their own personal agenda. Little by little we extracted the truth out of you. You don't like loud boats, you don't like wakes, you don't want GFBL boats in front of your house. You want the lake all to yourself. The speed limit is first, then you want the cabin cruisers gone, finally you seem to be advocating for a 10 horsepower limit.

Here's a little bit of news for you, it's a big lake, you're going to have to keep sharing it with many people. Most of them are good people, a few are inconsiderate jerks. You want more laws because in the past a few jerks have not obeyed the laws already in place. The speed limit won't work. My opinion (see, that's what you say when your trying to be honest, you should give it a try sometime) is that a speed limit will make the lake more dangerous. We're not going to get more MP to set up speed traps, so the ones that patrol now will be assigned to sitting in a hiding spot, trying to catch someone going over 45mph. Problem is that their are few, if any going that fast so stops will be few and far between. So you or someone like you, insistent that you can't be wrong, will start demanding more MP resources be committed to speed traps.

Anyway, please do stop posting, I need a break from pointing out your incorrect assumptions and conclusions.

BTW,
"The new Senator for this area stays on Bear Island" is the truth, your other statement just like most of your "facts" just doesn't cut it.


Finally, that long pirate boat you're talking about, is a very fast GFBL boat, I find it funny that you "hope things like that never leave this lake", it is exactly what you are trying to run out.

Not sure I'd take that boat very far offshore. It's more like a loud (in more ways than one) deck boat. It's quite a bit different than the 51' 9", blue and white Nor-Tech that's been out and about this year which may be the biggest GFBL I've seen on the lake yet and certainly an easy target for the speed limit proponents. I don't know the name of the boat, but it says "Londonderry New Hampshire" on the transom.

That said, that Londonderry Nor-Tech wasn't loud (so GFBQ??) and sure throws a tiny wake for a 50+ foot boat. I was shocked when I crossed it's wake a couple of weeks ago while it was cruising at an estimated 50 MPH and I could not really hear it nor did the wake affect me any more than typical chop. I hope boats like THAT never leave the lake. It's dripping with sophistication and class.
