I'd be concerned if drunks were operating their boats in disregard to NH's RSAs, and at less than prudent distances. IMHO, the CG Auxillary "help" is welcome to observe—and perhaps limit—such reckless behaviors.

(The long and contradictory complaint of New Hampshire's RSAs appeared here: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...3&postcount=37).

When the MP Auxillary was active, there was an extended period between drunken Winnipesaukee fatalities. A letter to the Granite State News editor complained that authorities had dropped their support for the MP Auxillary.

That timely letter was written by an MP Auxillary member—and Tuftonboro resident—in mid-August of 2002.
