Can't Tell 30 Feet From 150?
I attended the midnight fireworks at Weirs Beach last night.
As I waited along with a good number of other boaters, a Cap'n Bonehead came through the crowd of anchored boats while on plane. He passed by numerous boats, well within the 150 foot limit, oblivious to the fact that he broke the law dozens of times in less than 10 seconds. He passed by me by about one-and-a-half a boat lengths (about 30 feet) from my starboard side, running between me and another boat anchored 50 feet from me. I guess his need to get through the Weirs Channel and into Paugus Bay was far more important than the safety of dozens of boaters. One has to wonder if this guy even had a clue, or worse, just didn't care. |

Watched two boats off Stonedam...
Hit rocks. First with the bow hull, then the stern drive. Bounced hard enough to make screams on board. They both limped away. Probably a couple $thousand a -piece for the local economy.

Was this near the east entrance of Sally's Gut or near the south end of the island? I was anchored near the dock at the north end of Stonedam a good portion of the day. There was a lot of traffic in and out of the Gut and more than a couple of boats towing knee/wakeboards and tubes. Have to wonder if someone got too close to the rocks near there.

That’s why we don’t go to the Weirs fireworks. It’s mayhem in the bay and leaving past Eagle. |

I don't go out at all during the 4th any more. It is sad.

Went to Wolfeboro for the first time since "the year to turn back" last night, and it was great! People (at least what I saw) were very considerate. The only real issues were a. those absurdly distracting LED under-water lighting packages that serve no purpose other than bling and blinding people behind, and 2. a couple dopes with their "headlights" on. Great night, overall!

Leaving crowded area
Center Harbor was great last night. Everyone always seems to be in a rush to leave when the show is over. Rather than slowly exit with minimal wake, too many go at just the right speed to create the biggest wake possible. If everyone went slower until Becky’s Garden or a little beyond, these huge wakes would be minimized and everyone would be on their way pretty much just as quickly.
I’ve been going to fireworks shows for decades and realize this won’t ever happen, though. And, dealing with whatever boat traffic there is beats sitting home! Last edited by Garcia; 07-05-2019 at 07:10 AM. |

The “boneheads” will never “win” but they might cause loss of life someday. We all enjoy the lake on our own terms...protecting my family and property is priority one and enjoyment comes next. The fact that you “laugh at and enjoy” the antics of stupid people says MUCH about you.

Do Not Ignore The Boneheads
It is better to point out their idiocy if for no other reason than to warn others. That the bonehead did something extremely dangerous is something we should not ignore. If we ignore it we'll only get more of it. Better to point them out and, if possible, heap scorn and ridicule upon them.
If the bonehead was endangering only himself that would be one thing. Let him/her remove themselves from the gene pool. But when they endanger others, in this case dozens of others, then we should point it out. If I'd been able to see the miscreant's bow numbers I would have filed a complaint with the MP. It's no different than filing a similar complaint about a drunk/distracted driver on the road. Or are we supposed to ignore them as well? Last edited by Weekend Pundit; 07-05-2019 at 11:50 AM.

Hate to disrupt a food fight, but the worst is when they plow right by our swim raft with their kids on a tube or skis right behind them. This happens multiple times every weekend. I'm more worried for the kids than mad at their jackass dads. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!

TITLE XXII NAVIGATION; HARBORS; COAST SURVEY CHAPTER 270-D BOATING AND WATER SAFETY ON NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC WATERS Section 270-D:2 270-D:2 General Rules for Vessels Operating on Water. – I. Vessels shall be operated at headway speed only, while passing under all bridges. II. (a) It shall be the duty of each vessel to keep to the right when vessels are approaching each other head on. (b) When the courses of vessels are so far to the starboard of each other as not to be considered as approaching head on, they shall keep to the left. III. When vessels are crossing courses or approaching each other in an oblique direction which may involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on its starboard side shall keep out of the way of the other, allowing the latter vessel to keep its course and speed. IV. When vessels are running in the same direction and the vessel which is astern desires to pass the other, it shall do so only when sufficient distance between the vessels is available to avoid danger of collision, and at such a speed that its wake will not endanger the boat being passed or its occupants. No person operating a vessel shall abruptly change its course without first determining that it can safely be done without crossing immediately ahead of another vessel. V. If, when vessels are approaching each other, either vessel fails to understand the course or intention of the other from any cause, such vessel or vessels shall immediately slow to a speed barely sufficient for steerage until the vessels have safely passed each other. If it appears the danger of collision is imminent both vessels shall stop or reverse and not proceed until such danger has been averted. VI. (a) To provide full visibility and control and to prevent their wake from being thrown into or causing excessive rocking to other boats, barges, water skiers, aquaplanes or other boats, rafts or floats, all vessels shall maintain headway speed when within 150 feet from: (1) Rafts, floats, swimmers. (2) Permitted swimming areas. (3) Shore. (4) Docks. (5) Mooring fields. (6) Other vessels. (b) These requirements shall not apply when: (1) Starting skiers from shore, docks or floats, as long as neither the boat nor the skier is endangering the life or safety of any person. (2) A vessel is in the federal deepwater shipping channel of the Piscataqua River between navigation buoys R2, Wood Island at the mouth of the river and R12, opposite the Sprague Terminal. (c) The operator of a towing boat shall be responsible for compliance with this paragraph. (d) The requirements of RSA 270-D:2, VI(a)(3) shall not apply to a vessel in the waters of the Androscoggin River from the Errol Dam to Umbagog Lake or in the waters of the Magalloway River within the state of New Hampshire. VI-a. [Repealed.] VII. When a vessel is given the right-of-way, such vessel shall hold its course and maintain such speed as the circumstances prudently permit. VIII. When a vessel is required to keep out of the way of another, it shall, if necessary, slacken its speed, stop, or reverse, and avoid crossing ahead of any other vessel. IX. Canoes, kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, and swimmers shall be given the right-of-way. This requirement shall not be construed to allow deliberate impediment of motorboats by canoes, kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, and swimmers. X. (a) No person shall operate a vessel on Lake Winnipesaukee at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions and without regard for the actual and potential hazards then existing. In all cases, speed shall be controlled so that the operator will be able to avoid endangering or colliding with any person, vessel, object, or shore. (b) Where no hazard exists that requires lower speed for compliance with subparagraph (a), the speed of any vessel in excess of the limit specified in this subparagraph shall be prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable or prudent and that it is unlawful: (1) 30 miles per hour during the period from 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise; and (2) 45 miles per hour at any other time. (c) The speed limitations set forth in subparagraph (b) shall not apply to vessels when operated with due regard for safety under the direction of the peace officers in the chase or apprehension of violators of the law or of persons charged with, or suspected of, any such violation, nor to fire department or fire patrol vessels, nor to private emergency vessels when traveling to emergencies. This exemption shall not, however, protect the operator of any such vessel from the consequences of a reckless disregard of the safety of others. (d) The speed limitations set forth in subparagraph (b) shall not apply to boat racing permitted under RSA 270:27. XI. Any conviction under this section shall be reported to the commissioner of the department of safety, division of motor vehicles, and shall become a part of the motor vehicle driving record of the person convicted.

Some rules are simply common sense. I would NEVER allow any tuber I was towing to get close to any dock, swim raft, moored boat, or ANY other obstacle on the water. I don't need a "rule" to tell me that. It's amazing to me that people can be that stupid, but we all know they're out there, and ALWAYS WILL BE.

We got swamped Saturday afternoon coming out of a Smith Cove by a large Sea Ray that was coming in on plane. They felt 60-70 feet was actually 150.... I think they keep it at Glendale Yacht Club. They certainly received a “salute” from us, but had no clue of their wrongdoing as the wall of water blew over the front of our pontoon soaking everyone and everything in it.

I like that we have the 150' rule... I see it as more of a guideline, as most people cannot judge distance over water. So I don't get too twisted over people who violate the rule (unless they are danger close say 25' or less).
Its just not worth letting a bonehead ruin my day! Woodsy

my favorites are the ones who zip by at 75 feet at high speed while we're trolling along. we'll be fishing close by an island, say welch or rattlesnake, and they'll buzz by between us and the island when they have the entire lake, wide open, on the other side of us. i guess they feel that the miles of open water on the other side just isn't quite enough space.

I could care less about the 150' rule between boats. I spend the winter boating in Florida, where this rule is non-existent. Let's just say it builds character and experience. However, when it comes to swim rafts (especially with swimmers present), I think it's a valid rule. I agree with Woodsy, nobody should have to take a measuring tape to ensure 150' distance, but coming 3' from a swim raft on plane is ridiculous.

Thought I would throw a log on the campfire here and say I enjoyed immensely observing when some guy got pinched by MP over in the NWZ near the Bear Island post office plowing a pretty serious wake. I guess it's the thought that counts he did kind of "slow down" but not nearly enough - appeared to be far more interested in taking pictures with and impressing the ladies in the bow of his boat, can of refreshment which I would assume to be of the adult nature clearly visible, and stereo blaring... was not paying attention to anything or anyone around him (basically checking all the boxes of a moron).
Thankfully he got some "education" and hopefully it included both verbal and financial. That was one well deserved stop. This is not the first time I have seen the MP camping out on the post office dock there and they blend in nicely so unless you look hard easy to miss them. Just saying the MP is out there getting it done the best they can. |

I went out on the 4th all day. Moultonboro to Wolfeboro to Alton Bay to Center Harbor and back to Moultonboro. Tons of traffic, tons of violations within a strict inference of 150 feet but really no issues. Every now and then I had to wait and be strategic about who was going to yield regardless of whether I had the right of way or not. End of day it didn't matter and we'd figure it out before it ever became a real safety issue.
Saturday, went out again and was waiting for gas in front of Lane's End with a few other boaters. Some guy in a Four Winns came on plane at about 30 between myself and another boat (we were about 50 feet apart idling, so he came pretty close to both of us). This was a clear infraction and very stupid move. Maybe I should've cared more but I didn't. I made a comment about it and moved on. MP wasn't there, I wasn't chasing after him for no reason, and he had his own agenda anyways clearly. It was gorgeous out, so I moved on to enjoying my day. I get the concern from everyone but if you know the lake and drive defensively you're likely fine. Seems like people spend more time complaining about something that never turned into an issue than actually enjoying themselves. My first thought was certainly not to come online and make a random post that arguably wouldn't have made an impact on the infraction. I can only feel for the company who likely had to tolerate this story day and night as well rather than just enjoy the day. I don't condone stupid moves on the lake but at the same time there's plenty of time where breaking the 150' rule is fine in my eyes (e.g., the Graveyard) if done responsibly and other times where it's not fine you just hope it's few and far between to never become an issue...but I digress. I spent a lot of time on the boat from Thursday until after 9pm last night and enjoyed every bit of it regardless of the "captain boneheads" and "captain perfects who like to complain".

As far as being "captain perfect" I try my best even though you don't think it's important. Go on and "shred" little man...your time will come. |

If everyone only followed the laws when they felt it was appropriate then we’d have chaos. You don’t get to pick and choose when to apply the law. |

I swear, I saw several new seriously illegal things this past week that I never saw in the 20+ years previous. Hope it's not a sign of the way summer is heading. |

Poking fun and making assumptions on an avatar based on an opinion you don't agree with? Classy. Appears your time has already come there chief. You hate your father not me buddy.

On no wake topic: I have been pleasantly surprised at the number of people who appear to be following the new “headway speed” rule even though it isn’t law yet. Only a handful of “boneheads” 4th of July week. Hope it keeps up.

Let me try and explain it to you then I’m out on this topic. Your original posts attacks those who don’t think like you and ends insulting those people with the derogatory term “snowflake.” My first post calls you out on this. You respond with a post insulting me. I respond with a shot (or two) of my own. So, bottom line, if you don’t want to be insulted don’t take the first shot. I come from a time when “payback is a bitch” and “winning is the only thing.” (My wife hates that side of me). If you do decide to battle, “keep the weak s__t outa here”. Enough from me on this. Sorry to those of you who have been bored to tears by this exchange. Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

I’ve read it seems a thousand posts on the violation of the 150 foot rule. Some times it digresses into a s**t storm and others just drift along with everyone agreeing that it is wrong. I would urge everyone on the lake to add a couple of accessories to their equipment roster for boating. They would be, a good pair of binoculars, and a bull horn. Upon encountering “captain bonehead” and crew simply announce that they are violating the law, and that you have their bow numbers, and you are turning the info into the MP. Repeat violators will probably hear from the MP, but just the threat could slow ‘me down in the future. Just my two cents.

Where skiing and tubing is everywhere, WHEN do you begin to observe the 150-foot rule? When the tube dumps 4 or 5 swimmers into the lake?

You girls want to take this cat fight to PM's and stop cluttering the Forum with this nonsense?
It is not what the forum is for and it drags down the intelligent conversation and exchange of information that people enjoy reading here. |
