Margaret, the details you are looking for were contained in a submission to the Lake District Planning Board in 1994 presented to the Windermere Speed Limit Enquiry. The comments were in a letter sent by AR to Nick Peglitsis in September 1962; "Coniston is still much what it used to be, but Windermere has been murdered by savages with speed-boats. I am told that the Norfolk Broads have suffered in the same way. People do not seem to realise that the faster they make their boats the smaller they make their lakes. When I was a boy, Windermere was an ocean. It is now hardly more than a puddle." I hope this helps.
