Although during the weekdays I have seen much lower numbers of boaters yielding a very empty and safe lake, the few weekend days with good weather have been wild. Total lack of regard of the 150' rule and a high number of operators having no idea of stand-on/give way.
I have a very hard time thinking how anyone can say the boating is safer this year other than during the week when the numbers are noiticably down. You really need to factor the reduced numbers in.
The weekends have been worse that I remember as far as safety, and the weekend numbers are still down as far as boats moving on the lake.
I do my boating out of the Weirs and see most of the Center Harbor, Weirs, Alton side of the lake. Perhaps it is location?
Sorry for this off topic post. I felt I needed to respond to the post that stated all was much safer this year thanking the Speed Limit. That clearly is not true.
How about getting back on topic - the spirit of compromise!
