Years ago, Winter Harbor used to see many "boating stops", lasting 10-15 minutes. One time, when a Jet Ski (from Washington, DC) was given a written warning
not to tow a skier after sunset, they were called back when the Jet Ski resumed the infraction. The Jet Ski was towed away!
Lately, with one exception, their job is to "show the flag". The exception? Winter Harbor's hit-and-run, when two MPs were sighted patrolling in a single morning.
This was the
second major boating event I could have seen from my porch.
(The
first was an under-aged operator
Jet Ski fatality, of which there was
zero follow-up).
That this $23 job can be filled at all is a testament to being paid over $100 a day to boat on Lake Winnipesaukee--
plus having law enforcement experience on one's résumé.
