... If you find the little safe ponds and streams so boring , you must LIKE the thrill that comes with the big lake. So now you wish to make it boring too?

How many times have I heard the opponents of the speed limit say that the lake should be for everyone? That a speed limit would infringe on their rights? Yet you seem to think that kayaks and canoes should just not use the lake. What about our rights?
The speed limit does not mean that high speed boats can't use the lake, only that they have to slow down. That's all.
Like I've stated many times on this forum: I own a 16 foot sea kayak. It's made for large lakes, flat rivers, and coastal waters. It's not made for ponds. I paddle about 20 miles in an afternoon, and I like being out in large waves. Yet you guys think that I should stick to little ponds!
FYI: Speeding boats do not make a lake more exciting for kayaks - We count on Mother Nature to do that.
