From the Board regarding the new boating policy

[ZIPPERHEAD]

Like I said, Irvine Co. is buying land AND building. The fact that they already own the land and now have a reason to make it private and sell it off only makes it seem easier for them, that's all. Nice private, gated lakefront property in OC.

Donald Bren has no intent to build on land- Or sale land to build homes and develop- Educate yourself before making comments. Good Gawd

He's not the first person I've heard said on this board, that Irvine Lake a few years back was ALMOST SOLD TO DEVELOPERS. Any else want to jump in here with some details on that one!!!!!!!!

If your boat patrol and see 4 people on a boat that small, its your job to make sure they return safely...

Agreed... There's NO WAY 4 adults should have been allowed on that tiny weak boat. 2 full sized adults males would even be a little much in my opinion. Staff definetely failed on that one. That being said, I miss the days when 4 full grown adults make a bad decision and that's where it ends. Now, the ambulence chasing lawyers have to wet their beak too and ruin it for the rest of us!

Thank you Tucker.
I'm just saying that it has been mentioned in the years past. Don't get so butt hurt over it Zipperhead. Good Gawd? What does that even mean when someone makes a comment regarding a possible development project?

They launched in the dark, on the north side of trout island. Lake patrol saved 2 of the guys.. Its not like they were at the launch ramp blowing up the boat.. Not like they paid the $10 to launch either..

Ronson makes a good point, doesn't my insurance cover me on any given lake ? I mean, when I fish bass events, I have to have the min 250K liability, so if you could show someone at the gate - your insurance declaration page - showing your dates of coverage, limits ect - wouldn't this be good enough ? I mean, we do it already with car insurance being the law and all.

Let me play Jail house lawyer. Even though you have really good Insurance on your boat and it's occupants, that still wouldn't stop someone from including Irvine Lake as a co-defendant if one of your passengers drowned and the family sued you. Since Irvine lake no longer has insurance that covers passengers of private boats. That person who is suing you and Irvine Lake could then go after the assets of Irvine Lake if they won their lawsuit. Irvine Lake would never put themselves in that kind of position!!!!

Guys I've already mentioned this earlier in this thread. Why not allow us with good insurance coverage, name Irvine Lake et al. as an ADDITIONAL INSURED on our private boaters insurance coverage.
