I know how you feel longtimer, trust me. I have seen every categorization of "big boat owners" which I guess is the category I fall in. We have been called irresponsible idiots that don't know how to drive our boats or care about others. I will admit, I think all of this has gotten out of hand and I will go as far as apologizing for simi lashing out yesterday (bad day at work, and the stress of life in general) but I do apologize. I hope that there can be a resolution that keeps the majority happy. I also pray that this is not the start of limiting a lot of the happiness that most find with the lake, for example, this limitation leading to others. I do know that I love the lake, I love every minute I get to spend on it. I understand that certain restrictions must be put in place before we see the lake with obsessive yachts on it, and I do feel that there are a lot of individuals who consistently display carelessness on the lake. I do not like to be categorized with these individuals just because I own a larger boat. (Which to me is small compared to a lot on the lake, but effected by this bill never the less.) I just pray that we can all find a way to consider each others views, what everyone has to loose from this and find a way to take all of this into consideration with our feelings. I know personally my feelings have been on edge because the ending result is out of my control and it has the potential of really hurting my family and our recreational habits. I hope that you have a wonderful day and maybe someday there will be an end to this madness that hopefully will please both our sides.
