Well, I've managed to stay away for 24 hours from this "educating the go-fasters" thread! It appears that just the

Somebody (meaning
Mee'n'Mac), sees a speed problem on Lake Winnipesaukee!
Addendum: Island Girl is probably correct about the location. It is from a large collection of boat wreecks targeting speed. But even
www.winnipesaukee.com has only a tiny fraction of "instructional" photographs from similar Winnipesaukee "incidents". Many of the worst fatal Winnipesaukee wrecks occurred at night anyway.
BTW I: Both Lake Travis (TX) and Lake Conroe (TX) have night time speed limits now due to Littlefield-type accidents.

Please sign the petition against a proposed 45mph speed limit on Lake Winni in NH, even if you don't boat there or are from another state. Not letting this happen to others is a big step to not letting it happen to you. Copy and paste the following into your browser:
