Beautiful up there towards Lee's Mill, but the tight quarters allow for a much higher probability of ANY boat you encounter being able to create a so-called "bonehead" situation. There just aren't many options when it comes to altering course and you'll find boats passing on-plane within 150' often. I think people who boat there regularly have developed a casual attitude toward the 150' rule, out of necessity, and it's not really a bad thing. It's pretty common on most smaller lakes in NH, and the Lee's Mill area feels like a smaller lake.

That said, what happened to you?
