The 2 stroke engines and the smoke they produce make sitting in the channel no fun. I wish they would outlaw them. This area has pretty putrid water, but with the London Bridge about 300 yards away, and with some of the views on the boats, makes it worthwhile sometimes. The winds came up that day, making the main lake full of white caps with 5-6 foot swells. Not a fun day to boat, but nice to sit and watch.
