Great post Rob. I agree fully. We should support actions like this that makes sense. Perhaps a provision that if you are 150 feet from shore then you need the flag. I don't think it is necessary if you are going up a stream that is only 4 feet wide off of a bay.
I also think a $25 fee, useage sticker will go a long way to help raise funds for the navigation fund (provided they do not pilage it again!) It has always been said that paddlers have every right to the lake and voice towards legislation as power boaters, well then they shouldn't have an issue with having to also pay to use it. (I am also a kayaker and a powerboater, just seems fair)
