After getting dizzy watching this, I realized the circles were less than 150-feet in diameter!
I was out in my boat between 6:30 and 11:00 last night (Alton Bay to a great dinner at Canoe and back). We did not do any tubing, but I'd say tubing conditions were pretty poor. Not many boats out either. We saw only two other boats on the trip from CH to Alton Bay.
