"GFBL" is BoatUS' name for Go Fast Be Loud.

The "Marine Mafia" is the premiere (you should pardon the expression) GFBL Forum. A nickname. Nasty place...makes you want to take a shower after.

A few sandy islands would be acceptable -- say, at Middle Ground Shoals.

But I see something behind the scenes -- much bigger and sinister -- than a few lakefront dwellers "driving" this initiative.

...and I think some others see it too.

I am not sure why this is such a complex issue. I boat and love the lake. I also raft from time to time. Just one persons view, but why not let rafting be allowed up to 3 boats and then perhaps a few more in designated areas. Rafting with a few boats makes for a great time. When you get 10+ boats together it becomes a nuisance. Not to say you cant have clusters of rafters, but do it in designated areas that doesnt impeed others on the lake. This shouldnt be that complicated...
