When I made mention of the 150' rule we have on Lake Winnipesaukee up in "Newhampsha", the boat Captain looked at me like I had two heads. I asked him how many accidents had occurred with other boats or people and he replied none that he knew of, only a couple of groundings on the reef nearby and those were by larger vessels not pleasure craft boats.

Go figure!

Same goes for Boston Hahbah on a hot, sunny weekend afternoon. It's like that scene from Caddy Shack. Yet how many accidents do you hear about? 0.
