Akin to erosion, millions of tons of boulders constitute the many Lake Winnipesaukee breakwaters dumped to protect those thousands of Lake Winnipesaukee boats. Sand? Loam? Pilings? Over-sized boats?
Erosion, construction, property maintainance, dumped sand, over-sized boats, and building an endless number of breakwaters have effectively affected late-season boating--IMHO. |
My breakwater was built ~60 years ago, maybe more. I don't know what an "oversize" boat is, but I probably have one (over 24'?). At the same time, my property, I think, is "LAKE SMART". Is yours?
Perhaps we need a star on those posters who have been certified LAKESMART? I expect mine next year as the program progresses.
