However, that doesn't jive with New Hampshire figures.
In 2006, the last year that NH Marine Patrol statistics are available to my knowledge;
33% of the BOATING FATALTIES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE INVOVLED KAYAKS!
The other fatalties were drownings, not boating accidents.
Of the 84 boating accidents in the entire state,
.04% involved boats going more than 45mph, and of those
THREE only
ONE was on
Winnipesuakee!
Don't you hate numbers?
