There are so many boaters out there on the lake with little to no knowledge of safe boating. This is making the lake less safe and it is getting worse each and every year.

The current safety laws have to be much better enforced and the penalties have to be much more sever. MP needs to spend more time on safety issues and less time policing the rafters, who are not creating any safety hazard. It has gotten very unsafe out there due to either inexperienced operators or simple boneheads, especially in busy areas on weekends.

I agree with you, for the most part. The only exception being that I think we are really spoiled here in NH. I've done quite a bit of boating outside of our inland lakes and the Winnipesaukee version of "unsafe" boating (with a few notable exceptions) is remarkably mellow compared to the rest of the boating world.
