Thumbs up Winnie Waves Tuesday Aug 19, 2008

Similar around most parts of Lake Winnipesaukee last Tuesday. It must have been a little more rough out in the broads.

I watched a bit of a breeze kicking up the surf outside the window where I was on Winnie last Tuesday (Aug 19) too. My daughter Lauren was playing with her new camera and tried to capture the whipped up waves. Almost no boats out - these are all natural waves, not boat wakes. This is looking from the beach at Silver Sands, Sanders Bay in Gilford out between Timber Island on the left and Round Island on the right.




Another look at waves viewed from the Silver Sands Beach out toward the north and the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club. Again, all natural wave action.




Going out on the boat in this weather is not a problem for some - it's getting back in the slip that can be a bit more complicated.

note: In the picture from the Thread Starter the guy in the Sail Boat is probably yelling to his mother-in-law to get out of the bow and back to the stern (or jump overboard?). She didn't understand ballast!

How much wake could you make if this were in a no wake zone?
