In Your Opinion..........You were not in a canoe.........nothing will change my mind about big power boats, 99.9% are operated by complete MORONS that deserve a big fat marble in the head.......... . The other 0.01% obeyed the law that says you must yield to non-powered boats and actually SLOWED DOWN!! ........I guess sharing the lake and some respect is WAAAAY too much to ask for. I have been in a non-powered boat (row boat) that was hit by a power boat, the 13 y/o kid was drag racing with his friends, looking backward, in his dad's "borrowed" boat (a 13 ft fiberglass boat with about 30(?) HP motor) going full throttle and hit us smack in the middle of our boat, the only thing that (I think) saved us from tipping was the anchor rope and we yelled making him veer off slightly. I am a wee bit bitter and get freaked out by power boats.
Sorry Tim...........my mind is made up, power boat and jet ski operators are a MENACE!!!!
IMO!!

So they can have their stinking, noisy, polluted, oil covered lakes and I will paddle my quiet, unspoiled, unpolluted, back-country lakes and rivers that team with clean fish, but that is MY preference!!!
