Marine Patrol Releases Stats

These stats I don't think reflect the relatively light boat traffic on the lake this year, I'd venture to say it was even lighter this year than last. The weather really messed things up, even for me I was off a good 40-50 hours of operation due to the weather.

I have cut my use in half this year. Mostly raft or visit the 'ports'. I notice less waiting at all ports this year. I notice skippers are 'hanging out' more at their marinas. I also notice a number of boats that had their shrink wraps on all summer. So the signs of less boat traffic are out there. Not hard to find.

As I said no one left. I see the same boats this year as I have seen for the past several seasons and some new one's to boot. Saying they were leaving was a bunch of stuff as I think most here know.

With only 26 warnings considering the number of boats that use the lake this clearly shows that this is not a problem and backs up the study the MP did which also showed this wan not an issue. Data, gotta love it!!!.

Whenever more specific data comes out, perhaps this will be clearer.

Personally, I'd love to discuss just the data itself, with no agenda one way or the other. I "Think" we can have an intelligent discussion without the singling out of one issue or another.

My opinion is the data does not show much, one way or the other. I believe we need another year to see two years of data before any real conclusion can be drawn.
