Do you really think that putting a sign on your dock is going to stop anybody from making a wake? How foolish and deluded can a person be. If a guy in a boat is so stupid that he can't figure out that he is making a wake, and that the wake is going to be a problem for somebody and further that the larger the wake the larger the problem, then, a SIGN ON YOUR DOCK IS NOT GOING TO MAKE HIM SMARTER. Nothing fixes STUPID.
Probably the only thing the sign is going to do is make him come close to the dock and slow down to see what the sign says, thus making wake problems for you worse.
PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUFF. 99% of the people riding boats on this lake do not have homes here. At least some of them are bitter about the fact that home prices are so high and that the affordable homes are being demolished to make way for the unaffordable. They don't like you, they don't like your big house, and they don't like your dock and your boats. They wish that there 1972 piece of junk boat would make you go away.
Things in this country and in this region in particular have changed. You are not admired if you work hard and acquire wealth and its trappings. You are despised.
Who like hedge fund managers and Wall Street elitists? Look at the faults they are finding with Romney.
And furthermore, putting swimming buoys out in front of your property just encourages some people to drive between the the floats and shore just to show you that you have no rights but they do.
The real solution to this and most of the other problems on the lake could be resolved by incorporating a "LAKE CITY" a good portion of the tax money, and the majority of the residential property tax is collected on lake related property. These funds instead of going to the rest of the county or counties and cities could be funneled into resolving lake related problems.
Just think if these monies were used for lake patrols, sewage systems, road improvements etc. howmuch better off all of the lake residents would be.
Why do you think things are so much better in Mountain Brook than in the rest of Jefferson County? The Brookies figured this out. They spend there tax money on themselves, the the "great unwashed"
Boat permits for lake Martin would be a good start. It could be a sticker that had to be on the dash of each boat, and could if you like say 'WATCH YOUR DAM WAKE"
