I think pursuring bullet point 2 above would bear more fruit than an after the fact challenge. I'll bet we could get quite a few signers to a petition using these forums. Its just flat out bulllchit the way this was handled in the dark of night. No forum at all that I am aware for public discussion. That is just wrong.

I would still like to know how the appropriate speed for the speed limit was determined, and who dtermined this is the appropriate speed, and on what criteria is speed based ? I guess I will e-mail Sgt. Windemuth for the answer.

That number seems to be the standard around other parts of the state to control speed in congested areas . Also helps reduce noise . Can someone please tell me what effect if any , does the shipping traffic have on wake at Chesapeake City ?

poker runs
this sucks, what will they do about poker runs and special events at the ches inn ? i guess you have to stay sober or will really have a problem. I think thats what it really is all about,less drunk boaters on the water.
