Five weekends must be long enough for the "new boat weather curse" to wear off?

I expect there will be a lot of pent up boat activity this weekend. Be careful out there. We pulled several large logs, a dock, and a large spool of fishing line out of Merrymeeting this morning. I'm sure Winni has a similar situation given the high water levels and storms of the past month.

I guess it's time to put the boat in.

Exclamation Be Careful Out There...

Yes, an 5-foot length of fairly new, but broken-off dock piling, appeared today. Too heavy to lift until my family gets here, I tied it off to the shoreline to keep it from battering my dock. Unfortunately, today's heavy-boating activity caused it to slip its tether, so I don't know where it is right now. But it still could make a "return trip".


But fortunately, I was able to pull the waterlogged 4x6 "dock upright" before some boater came to grief with it. (Worse on calm nights).

Good on you for trying to remove a navigational hazard such as that.

I do take a little issue with the bolded statement above, as I would imagine that the wind would have made some pretty decent waves out there yesterday.

Here, we get both waves and wakes; by far, wakes are the most destructive.

In keeping with this Winnipesaukee "floaters" thread, last week, I captured a third piece of heavy wood debris—a 2"x10"x8' plank.

"Repurposed" within a few feet—and placed upright—as in the photograph below, I expected it would be a good deflector of oversized boat wakes. Eventually, the weekend wakes that rebound from shoreline rocks to soak the dock were still able to splash over-and-under that 10-inch board.

(Also rebounding through dock boards not affected by the rocky shoreline).
