We were in Moultonboro this weekend, in a bay (won't say which one, but near 19 Mile). We anchored not too close to shore, because I don't want to be in the face of homeowners... it's rude. So we were probably 200 feet offshore. We had a boater (driven by kid, coulldn't tell age) towing a skier (the parent). The boat came between us and the shore, and between us and another boat, way too close.... we honked and shouted and gesticulated. Later the boater came over to our boat and asked basically what was our problem. My husband cited the 150 rule, the boater said "I know the law" ... but when told he was too close, he advised us that we had anchored too far into the bay and made it difficult for him to ski. I guess he must own the lake, and we just didn't know. What a turkey.
