Due to the high water level and boat traffic, the Winnipesaukee-equivalent of the "
Pacific Gyre" appeared off my shoreline yesterday. It was filled with plastic water bottles, driftwood, planking, a tennis ball, a fishing float, lake-bottom vegetation, many clumps of pine-needles, lawn clippings, a bucket, and many large clumps of a fine species of lawn grass: None of which could be good for your boat.
Most of the debris was just below the surface and hard to see, even at moderate speeds.
The "Gyre" probably stayed there overnight, but didn't reappear this morning—and speaking of
overnight—a canvas-covered gray motorboat is adrift off Port Wedeln, right in the middle of Winter Harbor, now.
The "Winnipesaukee Gyre" would be invisible to most speed-boaters, so wouldn't any
responsible speed-boater want to stay away from shorelines—and its seasonal debris—
at least 150-feet?
