First off this is not a personal attack, just an attempt to bring another perspective the the recent issue of "big boats". I took the following from a post of yours back in February, the 15th I think, but it is on page 9. I was on one of my frequent breaks from the forum at the time, but went back just to do a little catch up.
"When I hear someone bought at the lake from, let's say, - Montgomery, I am comfortable. When I hear Atlanta, I question. (See my post on Destin....come in, sorta like rape the land, and then move on.....) I like the controlled growth of the lake forefathers....."
Those same "forefathers" are the same ones that are pushing the big boat ban because they have looked at other lakes around Atlanta and seen what uncontrolled "growth" will do the area. The growth ON the water is the same as the growth on the shores, they cant be seperated.
This is not personal. You seem like a very nice lady and I have no problem with you, or any of the others for that matter. I have benifitted more than you can imagine from the "growth" of late, but big boats are built for big water, open water. There were several others in that thread that basically expressed the same opinion as you, but you started the thread, so I focused on your message.
Once again, not personal. There are others that seem to be a little hypicritical on the issue. The control others, but not me crowd. Many of the ones affected by this 'ban' have no stake in this lake other than coming on weekends and using it as a playground. That is fine, but bring appropriate toys. I have personally witnessed a group of 6-8 of guys that pull up to a public ramp, launch their big, loud, expenisive 'cigarette' boats, thunder run the lake all day and then leave. Let them play elsewhere.
I hope to meet some of you guys this summer, but I don't get around to Sand Island that much anymore. I stay closer to home.
