Akkkk !!! Renters are People, too!
Nope. (and Nope "2").
Nope 1: That was a day of full-sun at my Lake Winnipesaukee cottage.
We've kept our tall hemlocks and giant white pines
untrimmed, so the dock is often shaded in the late afternoon. The entire photo appeared
HERE in the mooring whip thread.
Please note my use of "
hurried-boaters" resorting to the Little Bear passage.
They are the boaters I don't wish to have near me or any of my neighbors.
Nope 2: Peaceful boaters.
By "peaceful boating", I include about 90% of
all Winnipesaukee boaters.
Of the other 10%, I use my silent signaling device—in a highly-gratifying directing of those 10% away from my intended passageway. (This device was previously nicknamed a "PED").
Sometimes, this warning must be given in behalf of nearby boaters and tubers in peril on the lake.
Nothing has improved my own boating enjoyment—and safety—more than communicating with other boaters in that way.
Many
regulars—mostly local ski-boats—have been "flash-conditioned" into giving
proper way to
all the boats along the two miles of shoreline that we share.
I like to think that the PED (and I) have lots to do with that.
Another writer—in opposition—lives in an adjacent NWZ.
'Any idea why this poster would deny a NWZ to shoreline dwellers at Barber's Pole?
Just as the NHRBA did two years ago, you have a ton of responsibility riding on your shoulders—take care—in any event. Have you
yet read the advisory inside the smallest of your PFDs?
Why hasn't this PFD warning been fully documented on this region's most successful forum—
and growing?
That is
one INFO-mercial all of Winnipesaukee's boaters could applaud!
BTW:
I once lived only a ten minute drive from the most famous designer of those boats. He was rubbed-out in a drug-based Mafia "hit". (
Of which I know quite a bit
.)
His boats were designed for the dangerous waters directly in front of his shop. His boats (though slow by comparison to the "tunnel-hulls") are still very popular on
The Ocean, and
were not designed for inland waters.
