Is the lake any Safer then it was 10 years ago

The Lake is a very safe place given the size and use it gets.

We also need to be realistic- we all have friends that we enjoy being a passenger with and friends that we prefer to host on our boats! Just like on the road, one can have years of experience and still not be a great driver. Unfortunately, we share the lake with some people who don't truly understand basic navigation rules, skippers who don't know when they are stand on or give way and the responsibility each captain has. I have taught my kids to operate confidently but defensively!

Safe boating!!

Jason, that is a nice concise explanation of the buoys
