FLboater quoted the following regulation on ares of the Atlantic Seaboard:
Quote:
There is a 10-knot speed limit in effect in designated areas along the eastern U.S. seaboard for all vessels, commercial and recreational above 65’ (20 m).
Boats smaller than 65 feet can manuevour quickly and avoid hitting Right Whales. How big is your boat?

If those speed limits applied to Lake Winnipesaukee it would impact the Mount Washington, Sophie C and Doris E! All of which are longer than 65 feet! That would restrict those vessels to a top speed of 11 and a half MPH!

Of course there are no Right Whales in Lake Winnipesaukee, but APS will keep looking for those pics! What about Winni the lake monster?!!!!
