Winni...

Your a little off base here. The lake is for the enjoyment of all people. That means that you have to ACCEPT that other people view the lake and how they recreate differently from you. If they are obeying the law then you have no complaint.

Waterfront property owners do not OWN the water. While they have littoral rights for docks etc the water belongs to everyone.

The biggest problem with the loon population on this lake is not boats or even boat wakes! Its lack of habitat! Lake Winnipesaukee is a highly developed(some may say overdeveloped) lake. There is almost no natural habitat left. If you feel so strongly about the loons perhaps you could deed your property to the Loon Preservation Society?

I am not going to get into a speed limit debate with you. Although the effort from Winnfabs continues, this subject has been beaten to death on this forum. You have right to your beliefs, and I am just going to respectfully disagree.
