2013 Boat Accident
Governor's Island Bridge...two boats tried to go through the bridge at the same time. Marine Patrol is reporting serious injuries. Heard on the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Dispatch on the scanner. Laconia and Gilford notified.

G-Island Bridge Crash overnight
My thoughts are with those injured last night. A quick scan online makes it appears a two vessel crash happened southside of Governor's Island Bridge, a no wake zone, Barry Myers, 50, of Dracut is accused of destroying boats and lives. He has a prior DWI arrest listed in 1/2010 and was charged with bwi last night. Be safe.

12' Chapparal?

When I went by last night 2 marine patrol boats were WAY south of the no wake zone.. So not sure if it actually took place in or out of that area.
There were two ambulances and a fire ruck set up as well at the GI bridge. Didn't look good.. Hope everyone is ok.. Not good boating and driving!! |

Just curious, were the boats traveling in opposite directions or the same direction? |

Almost Another Today
While waiting my turn to go under the G-Island Bridge, a large (virtually ocean-going) vessel named **** pulling a wake passed my boat and cut off the boat entering from the other side. Don't know what this **** hurry was since he docked about three houses down from the bridge.

Crazy. We went through there at about 8 last night, couldn't have missed it by much. Our thoughs are with the victims...Never really understood operating anything while intoxicated myself.
|
Wasn't it dark at that time. I mean how fast were they going in the dark? Sounds familiar though....

South Side?

Kind of a semantics thing.
I believe that he is talking North side as being the Weirs side of the bridge, and South side as being the Alton side of the bridge.
I tend to do the same thing, while the direction may be off a bit. |
Any update or findings?
Not to dwell on misfortunes, but I like to understand the "What happened?" aspects of these incidents, especially when they're in an area I know, and frequent, and seem unusual.
This occurred in an area that gets conjested, but does not regularly produce accidents. I've been on that bay for 20+ years, but only a couple weeks per summer, so I don't have the full season viewpoint. |
What happened
DUI.You won't find out about the outcome till its resolved in the court.

Re: "No Wake Zone"
'No Wake' rules extend 150' from bridges, shorelines and other details. Regardless of speed, that passage is too narrow for power boats wider than a canoe, to safely pass through at the same time. It looks wide enough from a distance but when you are in it, you see the channel is dug/blasted from rock and is not generous. The edges have teeth! |
