Anchoring 150' out from shoreline will probably make the water too deep for walking the sandy bottom but the boats can still drop anchor and tie up to one another and rafters can walk from boat to boat .... to mingle and meet other people .... .... cheers! |
Ironically, the image in post
https://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums...2&postcount=22 shows only six anchored boats in Braun Bay. All are equally spaced from one another, with
no attempt at "mingling".
"Mingling" is forced upon them as the numbers increase as morning turns to afternoon.
People used to anchor close to Winter Harbor's shoreline, but the heavy chop from tubing's popularity has discouraged such anchoring.
(...and now I don't have to worry about their anchors' dragging across my stainless steel water line).
Some here may recall my admonition to one anchoring pontoon boat, who was tossing their meals' discards overboard.
Now that I think about it, rafters should have Braun Bay's sandbar to congregate.
