Re: Lowrance issues a statement regarding Linda Colt

Re: Cachuma Lake Boat Inspection Protocol Established

It appears that they are at least taking a step in the right direction to work with the boaters, unlike the CMWD board. I don't like the idea of quarantineing a boat for 14 days at the lake. That can get a little expensinve. The wash is a good idea. I'm in!
