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.

Do you advocate rudeness for all boaters? Why do you feel your legal rights
are greater than the pilot's legal rights?

Why the large chip on your shoulder, trollboy? Having trouble making
your monthly payment on that boat? 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?

Oh, I know: You just returned from a long day of scraping Zebra
Mussels off the hull...

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.

They sure are. And pilots, commercial or not, do not have to deal with such
boaters, for example http://tinyurl.com/cku33

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?

Neither one. They would probably ignore them, but they don't know what the regs
are. Being drunk helps, of course.

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.
