It is getting so that we can't raft anywhere or anchor anywhere. Public docks are crowded as it is. I just can't understand why we can't anchor a few hundred feet offshore and enjoy the lake? And I mean a few hundred feet where I am not in front of someone's property. I was not in front of the lady's property and I was several hundred feet out. I had to move!

My Grandfather, father and I were waterfront owners on this lake and we didn't have a problem with people rafting or anchoring if they are 200 feet out. We do find Boneheads that are loud and litter very annoying. I don't think boaters in general are annoying.

The biggest problem, I believe, is the lack of public land on Lake Winnipesaukee, where boaters can anchor off the shore.
