In many ways non-motorized boating on the lake on a summer weekend is akin to riding a bicycle on a road with motor vehicles although non-motorized boats always have the right of way (unlike bicycles) and aren't subject to any silly "as far right as practicable" non-sense, many MB's pass too close while generating a large wake, sometimes deliberately. So, the LCF ideal in a maritime environment is living motor boat free (LMBF).
