Holy whitecaps batman!
Went by Newfound this morning and it looked like the Bering Sea out there!
This wind must be affecting th big lake too...straight out of the northwest! Newfound looked very pretty with the blue skies and whitecaps but the lake was void of boats. More wind forecasted for Sun-Mon too |

Today is calm compared to what it was like on Wednesday and Thursday (and this coming Sunday thru Tuesday). Several boats on Merrymeeting broke free.
Secure everything tight before you leave this week! |

Two days of sustained 30 mph NW winds claimed my dock over here on Sebago. The lake kept building and building. The six footers were more than enough to bash it into submission...

As expected, absolutely crazy out there right now.
I was out in a small boat early this AM. First time on our lake that I can remember waves big enough that I was riding up the backside and then sliding down the front, enough so that my speed would halve going up and double going down! |

We got a short boat ride in this morning before it got rough. We got in just as it was getting bad.

Guess Who's Back?

What a beautiful boat you've got—for the lake in these conditions—with the cockpit exactly in the perfect location. Was it Thursday that the waters were incredibly flat? I saw these two stand-up boarders enjoying the sunny warmth and the calm waters: But in the time it took to walk down to the dock—in the identical acre of space: .

Thanks, it take the waves great but if it gets rough, we get wet over the windshield. Saw you too.

Not Batman...Just a Weary Boatman
Came in to Smith Cove from East Bear Island at 5:30 this morning. Still strong wind and moderate waves. Too windy late yesterday to come in with guests aboard. One of the "joys" of island living! 🐻

If you look at the shadows on the boathouse you can tell the pics were taken at 2 completely different times....
Shocking... I know! Woodsy

Probably the footnotes under each picture and these words by APS...
"I saw these two stand-up boarders enjoying the sunny warmth and the calm waters: But in the time it took to walk down to the dock—in the identical acre of space:"

Time of Walking Down to the Dock
"But in the time it took to walk down to the dock..."
The statement is quite clear - the two pictures were not taken at the same time. Details, people, details. |

Pricestavern...
How long does it take to walk down the dock? 5 minutes? 10 Minutes? 1/2 hour? His statement implies the pictures were taken in fairly close time frame. Clearly the shadows are VERY different... thus the pictures were taken HOURS apart.... my guess is the first pic was taken right around noon and the second somewhere around 4:00ish... But hey its all in the details right??! Woodsy

And of course, all of this has a lot to do with wind and waves.
Back to the topic...this is getting VERY old. I hope they are right that the winds will finally die down for awhile starting late tomorrow. |

The Point
Why so literal <in the voice of the Joker>
I believe the post was dramatizing how fast the conditions changed. A response was posted that the pictures were not taken at the same time and the original poster was wrong to have stated such. I simply pointed out that the original post did indeed state that there was a time interval between pictures. End of point. I have no inclination to determine the declination of inclination of the sun via shadows. I give you the latitude to make your estimates and your speculates. |

This is crazy! (but funny) since It's been brought up, Cloud cover could explain the difference in shadows, BUT, is the lounge chair on the dock tilted at more of an angle OR is the difference due to the photo being taken from a different aspect by the perp, CLAIMING he moved DOWN to the dock???? There for creating the Illusion of the back being raised a few notches. Or, is the 2nd picture taken AFTER someone used the chair? I don't know. You decide.

The post had everything to do with the high performance boat breaking laws in front of his house, because in his opinion the fact that it is there in the first place is breaking laws that should exist. |

Doh!
Thank you, Codeman. I guess in the end, it was I that was being too literal. I see the nuance now.
Doh! I should have had a V8 (or is that too powerful an engine)? |

The Lake is for Everybody?
Quote:
"The Lake is for Everybody". Diminishing winds bring out canoes, kayaks, inflatables, rowing sculls—and today—SUPs. This is the same NHMP provocation by the same provocateur—annually. Where does the enthusiastic support come from? Not from those on Winter Harbor who witness such regular transgressions. My video, which appeared here last season showed dangerous, uncontrollable "chine-walking"—typical of such boats at top speed. I agree with the NHMP, who write, "Good skippers...": . |
