Getting close to Headway speed?

If this continues, it might be time to go for headway speed, just until the lake has time to reach normal levels again. And then that would mean it would be worthless to take my boat out..double edged sword i guess...

We have had a cottage on a small cove for over 45 years. Once the folks were careful, but no more. They race through the cove pulling tubes etc. Now my cottage is only about 20 feet from the cove; even though we have spent thousands on rip-rap. It's sad that folks have to be so thoughtless; I mean, we can't even sail in the cove anymore. Like others, I don't like the idea of legislating behaviour, but I think we may not have a choice. Out in the broads may be one thing, but fast speed and the resultant wakes are ruining life in the coves!
