Question Auxiliary?

As a long-time Hobie-Cat sailor, I can say that there's nothing wrong with an occasional capsize!

But what were they thinking?

Monday had clear skies until near sunset, and was awful windy for any kind of boating. I saw only a few boats of any kind; even then, most waited until late in the afternoon to venture out. Monday's winds were especially bad for a small sailboat, and an invitation for a capsize. I stayed on shore and watched the rollers coming my way.

(A log is being updated daily as to sailing conditions here this season at the "Sailing" thread).

On the other hand, I haven't read anything from the Marine Patrol Auxiliary since August of 2001. At that time, MPA member William Fraley of Tuftonboro wrote in the Granite State News to decry the general lack of support for the MPA and that things were getting out of control on the lake.

That the Marine Patrol Auxiliary is still around is good news.
