hard to evaluate a threat from that area. from my own experience on the lake, when running at night we were very cautious. now, with the uncanny accuracy of gps charts, we can run wo, and so can anybody else. i saw a boat in the middle of the night a couple years ago that had to be going 75mph-no nav lights. talking with various business people on my two trips north in 06, all reported decreased business, but identified no single cause. some said that the peak was 10 years ago, in other words, pre 9/11. difficult to really get a handle on what's going on. personally, i think there's declining interest in outdoor activity of any kind, north or south of the border.
