friends for ever
Sorry for the addition, ok just DOGS.... more then ONE... :-)
As for the article, the point that it makes is that a
lake acts like an amphitheater. In essence a lake and the
surrounding geological structure is a very efficient
focuser of sound waves.
I think there is a place for us to come together on
boating safety.
On the noise issue, if boaters were willing
to be tested operational an were willing to muffle to a set level
i think most lake residents could live with an 80db limit.
This would be 150% in intensity over 75dB. I think the wardens
would go for this also. But there would have to be a concerted effort
by all to meet this standard.
We could also work on safety zone issues and times of operation.
We get a lot of complaints from Brandy Pond due to late night
operation. We also get a lot of calls on noise issue in monday cove
and up lake. On sebago raymond cape has had a lot of issues with
noise and safety zone violations. Witches Cove, Muddy River Bog
has been having issues with head way speed violations and noise
violations.
