Skimming
We were at the lake Sunday and stopped by Alton bay to check out the ice and while there, we witnessed a skimmer first hand. They skimmed the open water near the public beach. I thought the technique would be to speed up to it and stay on the gas and lean back. This one pulled up slowly and them took off and went through a lot slower than I would have thought.
Not that I am trying it, but I was surprised by the technique. It was fun to see a skimmer in their natural habitat. |
I see them skimming down the whole open length of the Weirs Channel. For most machines it works great as long as they can keep the motor running. However, this is extremely dangerous and not allowed under the law.

Miller's Law...

2) Among recent law-makings, one recent NH law resulted in "Amelia's Law". (Passed due to a sad and avoidable fatality). 3) The skimming ban was long overdue and was finally precipitated by a training fatality for just such a snowmobiler recovery. :( As an annual reminder for the law's necessity, the law should receive the name of the Laconia rescuer who drowned in training against reckless or careless behavior. JMHO. |

I believe that would be Lt. Miller, Laconia Fire
