boating is not for you or you for my lake.

"your" lake? Seriously? Rattletrap asked a question for "tips, tricks, or mistakes". I--and a few other folks--answered his/her question in the spirit of helping out. That's what courteous people do...respond when someone asks for help.
I've been driving a boat on both Boston Harbor and "your lake" since I was 13 years old, having been taught by my father who was in the Navy. I am now 54. I think I know safe boating, boat handling, and navigation pretty well. Please don't lecture me on whether the rubber tube that protects your boat at the dock is called a "fender" or a "bumper". When you have a cold, does it really matter if you blow your nose with a "Kleenex" or a "Tissue"?
