Disturbing the Peace near Hanson Cove & Greens Basin, Moultonboro

I love this section of the lake...but it is a haul. The relatively few times I've been up there I've seen folks disobeying the 150' rule (seems to be mostly jet skis - which I ride).

Last weekend I was up there and observed at least one ski and I believe a boat that were not observing the no-wake requirement. Yet each time I come out of there, I feel the no-wake signage could be improved. Like a lot of rules on the lake, I believe many folks just don't recall them all and with better signage, some would choose to obey the no-wake zones more than they do now. It'll never be 100% but I feel what's there now isn't in-your-face enough to deter some folks.

I don't really care for lot's of signage everywhere but this area is a bit more complex than many other areas of the lake and, without point blank signage, you're going to find more folks that just don't follow the rules. This may be due to forgetfulness or because their mind is somewhere else.

There will always be 'those who just don't care' but a bit more signage could improve things.
