Exhaust-pipe noise, fishermen-voices and Loon-calls (!) carry very far over water. At lunch-time Sunday, it was calm and quiet on the lake. Even through these heavily-forested properties, it couldn't be determined that "the emergency" was

FLL's possibility was relayed to the NHMP by my second call, but the boater had used such volume and urgency I just couldn't just stand around...telephone in hand. This early in the season—with no boat—even my neighbors don't have "basic boats" in the water
to row to a rescue!
