I've been to Lake Winnepocket in Webster visiting, and saw a 19' bass boat with a 150hp Yamaha. The people I'm visiting remarked....that boat is way too big for this little lake...it's not right...a boat like that belongs on Lake Winnipesaukee. So, probably it's true, people with the big powerfull boats want the big water where they have always been welcome, and there's lots of other fast boats.

That makes sense even to me. Some one area of the lake should become the designated 'go-fast zone.'

Considering that State Reps Janet Allen, Laurie Boyce, Charles Clark, John Thomas, and Mike Whalley, all Republicans, all voted NO to HB847, and all are from Alton or very close to Alton, maybe one of them could sponsor a post HB847 bill that creates an Alton Bay go-fast zone.

Looking all around the lake, that five state representative concentration of HB847 nay-voters is definately unique and sticks out like a red plague.

so's probably them and their local supporters could support the concentration of go-fasts and it could become a venue with good business & spectators on Alton Bay. Alton Bay has always been a speedy type of a place, imho. It offers the only spot on the lake where the water is easily seen from the roads on both sides. There's a number of marinas and food-service businesses that could benefit. People could go there by boat or by car to watch the go-fasts.

I could bring my new-old $250 kayak and paddle up & down the shallows fishn' for sunfish while watch'n the big, bad, go-fasts charge up & down the Bay on a hot & humid, August Sunday morning!

Sounds pretty danged good, don't it!

Let's go to Alton Bay, watch the go-fasts, play some minature golf, and snack on some granola................Alton Bay!
