Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Dilemma over boats anchoring off our beach

I've been on this lake since I was a child. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents grew up summering here on an island that's been in the family since the late 1800s. In the 25 years before we became property owners, we were waterskiers, barefooters, sailors, powerboaters, kayakers -- you name it. Anything that allowed us to hang out on the water all day long, we did it. Honestly, this is why I'm so sympathetic to the boaters alongside my own concerns! This is why I put out a message for ideas on this Forum. But I didn't intend for it to get so controversial.

I'm grateful to Outlaw, Siksukr, SamIam, Propellor, Mee-n-Mac and the many others (including the polite private messengers) who found the time to offer helpful suggestions and counter some of the nastiness that cropped up mid-string. Thanks to you, I think I have a good plan and genuinely hope that any changes that come along are harmless to others.

Enjoy your summers, everyone. Stay safe. Signing off...
