To the editor,
We presume Mr. Conkling is easily impressionable. Mr. Chase has just offered the go-fast-be-loud boaters that believe they should have the freedom to go as fast as possible a reasonable alternative; if you can't enjoy yourselves by staying within the law go somewhere where you can enjoy. The ocean certainly offers you that opportunity but even there are certain restrictions that must be followed.
The thousands of us who believe the 45/30 mph law on Winnipesaukee is safer and saner do not think your freedoms should include endangering everyone else, so the new bills coming that want to use "reasonable and prudent" as the only basis for checking speeds are totally untenable also.
Mr. Chase and the rest of us are just concerned with that which has worked so well over the last two boating seasons on Lake Winnipesaukee even though a handful don't believe it.
