Thanks Mike. Certainly everyone has their own take and opinions on every issue, this one is no different.

There are some idiots that go real fast, and some idiots that don't or can't go real fast. Bottom line, we need to limit the number of idiots we all have to contend with on the water. Arrogance and stupidity are not defined by boat type or size, it comes in a variety of flavors.

A top down approach is to first scale up the assault on BUI. It's a safety issue that hardly anyone is against. I have stories to tell there, as I'm sure anyone that's been on the water for years does as well.

Better to unite behind a real problem than create a solution for a problem that never existed.

1) I last called for such an assault HERE just three days ago.

2) To see boating arrogance for yourself, you need to scan SOS entries—those that haven't yet been "scrubbed".

3) The so-called "assault on Lake Winnipesaukee's BWI" isn't yet out of the box...and a hugely-revealing disclosure has—only yesterday—appeared on the Internet that needs

some

serious

addressing.

This is really HUGE!

VtSteve—you need to promptly re-visit that local website today and give us your "best spin" on it!

(VtSteve, you could bring the Internet to a halt—so please don't link to it!!!)

Since the speed limit has been implemented the MP was cut $750,00.00 which was transferred to the general fund.
At least that is what I was told, weather it is truth or not I’m not sure.
More work less funding?

Belmont resident, you are absolutely correct. Less funding means less time spent by the marine patrol doing what they do best, and now ask them to do something else like monitoring speed limits could actually create a situation where they are not available to respond in a timely manner to an actual safety emergency on the water.
