2) If you meant controversy, it's what brings viewers (and advertisers) to forums in the first place. The word "controversy" even appeared in Tuesday's fishing-poles discussion! http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...11&postcount=6 3) Don has put together a very sophisticated site for us: If this site doesn't load, it's only then that I check on one other (an even more sophisticated site) to check on blips within the Internet or server operability. 4) One example of this sophistication is a small box at the lower right corner of our posts here. You can click on several posts for your response, then click "quote" to answer all at once in a single post. (Just as I have done with today's response). Most forums don't have this capability (including this country's largest forum), which has the advantage of keeping posters from "serial posts". (Answering one person in a single post, then another in the following post, then a third in the following post—and so on). (You might know those posters by a much-less-than-complimentary term that can't be mentioned at family-friendly sites). :eek: Although you have been extended a honeymoon-moratorium on a recent restriction—a maximum of five-posts-per-day here—"parsing" allows more information using fewer posts.

APS...
As usual your a more than little short on the facts.... We dont need to see a 2009 Citation to know exactly how the law works. The way the HB-847 is written, there is NO set fine. If the person is found guilty, the fine is to be set by the presiding judge. This INSURES that both the MP Officer that wrote the ticket, and the person who recieved the ticket will have to appear in front of a Judge! The prosecutor may plea the case down to a small fine or driving class with no driving record infraction, etc as they see fit on a case by case basis to save the court time and money. They do this all the time with automotive speeding tickets. I am also not confusing criminal court with civil court. A friend of mine got an automotive speeding ticket and his court date was set for approximately 3 months after the date of the alleged violation. (I say alleged because he hasnt gone to court yet) Speeding tickets are a VERY LOW priority as far as the courts are concerned..... especially given the current budget crunch the courts are facing.

Do you know or are you able to post the details of the alleged speeding? location? what the officer said? etc etc? |
OCD...
\I was referring to an automotive violation. Not a lake violation. Sorry about that! I will edit my post! Woodsy |
I love this site! :D

I tried this multi quote thing out. I obviously need much more practice, but every time, it says my post is too short. Frankly, I got lost while doing it and forgot what the heck I was looking at. I know two things as a past lakefront guy that worried me. 1) Cruiser wakes 2) boats plowing at lower than plane speed. I never worried about angry waves at high velocity. Most of the time fast boats went by their waves were barely high enough to call them bumps. |
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
So.......................... what performance boat enthusiast is around this weekend.. Thinking Naswa 11:30 on Sat?? 80 degrees.. If I have room I will grab you but as of now I am full up...

....hey holycowabunga!
Golly gee willikers....using my eye and my thumb as a speed guage, I just clocked a big green, blue and white go-fast, green & blue vinyl graphics on a white hull, maybe 32'er w/ some good loud exhausts, speed thru the Buoy 3 narrows at 56.4-mph. Excuse me while I go jump into my kayak and go make a citizen's arrest here.
Anyone seen the new speed limit, rules sign which has been placed at local boat launches like the Meredith town docks? :) NIce job to someone in Concord who crafted the sign at the DOT sign shop.:) It is short on words, and long on easy-to-understand pictures, which does a good job to quickly explain this new law to boaters.:D |
Too Funny...
I'm not sure about anyone else, but APS & FLL crack me up. You two are hysterical. I too have attempted the art of "parsing" and failed miserably. APS's use of different sized fonts, different colors, excerpts and quotes paint a very clear picture of what he is saying. Call me sick in the head, but I find it hilarious. Even when it's something I don't agree with I have to laugh. And I am laughing not AT you APS. Please don't take offense. Now the thought of FLL running out his door, diving into the water, struggling into his kayak and chasing a boat full of tourists screaming "citizens arrest" has me laughing out loud, very loud (LOLVL). My husband has asked me "what's so funny" five or six times now. Thank you for the free entertainment.
OCD...would you happen to know how big of a foot print your boat makes on the lake, in comparison to a sea kayak? :D On a more serious note...we have a police officer in the "family-in-law". He has confirmed that Police Officers are paid time and a half for their appearance in Court. Not sure if it's the same for MP Officers. SKIP TO THE FRONT DESK PLEASE! :laugh: |

Not that I know of... That would mean that actual data is available. Something that proponents have tried to keep out of public knowledge. By the way the toilet picture made me LMAO!!!!!!!:laugh: |

Merrill Fay stated last year that people had already slowed down, and he noted an increase in activity with more people on the lake. He also said it quieted the lake down, and apparently the law was working and all was well. BTW, the law went into effect January 1st this year, after everything was ok. My guess is the MP would want the first few tickets issued to Gross offenders that were also doing something else wrong that everybody disagreed with. I'm quite positive they'll have a couple of those to issue if history is any guide. |

Damn.. You must have been the kayaker who saw me and tried to make a citizens arrest:laugh::laugh: :laugh: I was trying to take apart multiple posts you have made in the past years to prove a point but I couldn't figure out how to do it.:D Anyway, leaving shortly for the lake. I was going to put the boat in today but may wait until tomorrow or maybe not at all... Weather is not looking good. |

I lent the only picture I had to a buddy to dress up his office when he moved from the shop into sales when we worked together at Grappone Ford heavy Truck, down in Concord. It ended up missing. I do have a picture of two 750 HP engines that look very simaler, excepting the 900 HP had two 1350 cfm doual feed hollies on a high rise tunnle Ram intake manifold. 750's http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo....php?photo=461 Distant Thunder Getting Wet. Short Throttle's Up, while heading for open water. |
Wow.. Great looking boat!!... I wished mine looked like that when heading to open water. :D

Hey, you bring a great boat to Lake Winnipesaukee as well....

Getting to open water is a rush, although "Distant Thunder" was built to roam the oceans! I enjoyed the offshore boat races here on Lake Winnipesaukee while I lived here, and they lasted. I can't help but feel the rush that you feel by being able to enjoy your beautiful boat here as well. I think that the new speed limit is very limiting, however the verdict will be limiting as well. Now to get back to where we left shore. On only two engines, mind you and everyone. "Because of the deep V hull, the third outdrive was mounted lower on the transom, and when under full power the rooster tail was 75' tall behind this boat." Trust me. "Boats Or What", ya got to love Em':) |
Speed
Personaly I think speed is relative.. My boat did not come with a speedometer but id guess it goes 70 something.. We were out the other day heading across the broads.. Typical situation where the 4 big cruisers all headed across my bow from the west all failed to stand down.. upon looking to my stern I realized another 35+ footer was full bore up my stern.. IMHO I had no choice but to avoid this typical situation with liberal use of the throttle.. It all worked out well and I remembered to give them all the universal signal.. :D

I don't see where the number of tickets make any difference. If there are many, it will be said the limit was needed. If there are few (or none) it will be argued the limit is working.
This is the oppositions "Kobayashi Maru" scenario. |
Last weekend.
The MP's must have been concentrating their time looking for speeders.
The Captain Boneheads and Drunks were out full force! Captain Pontoon came within feets of my boat as I am anchored in a Timber Island cove with grandkids in the water! |

From what I saw last week the MP's aren't enforcing the speed limits in Alton Bay. Boats continue to roar by at all hours of the day and night.:eek:
|
Today, for the last two hours, that expensive looking helicopter slowly moving about the lake up at 500' or so, is probably the state police chopper. So, don't forget to smile and wave :):D, and maybe you'll get to be televised on a soon-to-be-seen TruTV police epic!
Live from Lake Winnipesaukee....those boats can run....but can they hide....from the law enforcement eye in the sky:cool:? |
