That is absurd. Every day there are stories about drunk drivers and/or
boaters. Thing is, they get CAUGHT. That is the distinction. Now, I know that certain pilots have this superiority complex thing. I think it is mostly the $3500/21 day pilots, and not the pros. Remember this, if you land your plane on the lake, you follow OUR rules, and i can legally come within 200 feet of you at any speed I choose. When I see a rude pilot try to muscle his way onto the lake, I am going to exercise MY legal right to boat. And my 27PC with both screws turning around 4100 rpms can put out a mean wake. Then you can whine to your boy Phil Boyer. |

Or is it the fact that you are unable to use your dual screw Tupperware 45% of every year when the great waterways of NH freeze over?

I've always wondered why folks will spend so much money to burn all
that fuel to run very large engines on a boat when the things are just so darned slow and limited to movement in two dimensions. Maybe it's so they can make a great deal of noise, erode shorelines with their wake, leak gasoline and oil into the water and upset as many people as possible who are simply out to have a nice day on a lake in their boats and airplanes that have far smaller engines. . Or are large engines on a boat an attempt to compensate for some sort of physical shortcoming? It's one of those Freudian questions that keep occurring when you hear loud boaters exercising their perceived legal rights to create large wakes and offend as many people as humanly possible. It's sad that so many of those noisy, big engine boaters seem to have day jobs at Burger King. Perhaps that accounts for their overt hostility to other recreational users of lakes and generally whiny natures. A person just can't help but wonder and stay out of the way of nutballs in big, loud boats that create big wakes while moving slowly. |

Many of drunk drivers who are caught have been caught before and before. And that's just the times that they were caught. Aviation has its own method of weeding out the stupid very quickly. |

![]() Does anyone know why boaters and kayakers are floating on this lake? There are a few of planes around, and it seems like a risky thing to do. When the boats are on the lake, do ALWAYS ignore Coast Guard regulations or are they just drunk? |

Being drunk helps, of course. George Patterson Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry, and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing? Because she smells like a new truck. |
