Default Kayakers Welcome...

1) ...Maybe even view a 30-acre family tenting-grounds—which is even difficult to see from the air!

2) "Speed Bump" (two words) was my user-name at the forum in its day in 2002.

3) Opponents tell us they "need" those over-sized boats for days that Lake Winnipesaukee gets rough; however, there are many sunny days where boating shouldn't even be considered!



4) Okay, back to "Cleaver" props. These are examples of "Cleaver" (or "Chopper") props:





Why are they named for the "Cleavers" we are familiar with? (Also called "Choppers").


Because they'll make mincemeat even when not turning!

The above-mentioned safety firm is a supplier of Kevlar equipment (and gloves) so that the cleavers' razor edges can be touched.



Are "Cleavers" found—anchored or moving—on Lake Winnipesaukee?

Answer: Yes.

5) Nobody has countered the argument that the newest PFDs for sub-adults have a disclaimer that they "Have not been tested at 50-MPH", and that they "Are not recommended for high speed water activities". Both OCDActive and I are both too distant from our new PFDs to scan the disclaimer into our respective computers. Perhaps someone here has a new one and post that embossed message themselves.

6) Sure, I've exceeded highway speed limits, but many others are not as "wised-up" on this 19-mile stretch I must drive at only 45-MPH.



If you "fatally-flub" this test, the state will put up an aluminum "pie-plate" disk in your honor at the scene of your recent demise. Oftentimes, there are sad small clusters of these "pie-plates".

7) One opponent states his boat is slow and quiet; however his boat is listed among the others at the "extreme-boat" website I call SOS. Another has million$ at $take, but refuses to "recuse him$elf" from the safety aspects of this debate.

8) Another touts the Coast Guard, but takes no note of accidents actually caused by the Coast Guard! There was no lanyard in use when an empty CG boat ran into the side of a cruise ship! Oops...that didn't happen on Lake Winnipesaukee—so never mind.

Wait! The Coast Guard isn't on Lake Winnipesaukee—so it never happened at all!

9) Opponents tell us that it's funny to laugh at the fears of his passengers, then just three posts later, will try to change the subject!


(Is it OK to be only a few years older than the last "Safety Captain" (injured badly) to run into an island with results that proved fatal for a passenger?)

10) Opponents repeatedly tell us "how safe" New Hampshire lakes are, but fail to mention that there is no smaller state with no shorter season!

11) For years, opponents have told "the quiet people" to leave Winnipesaukee and to "Move to Squam Lake!"

12)

SL opponents, I suggest respectfully that we do not comment in this thread as it is for supporters only.
Well, the warning came 'way too late, but "violating the rules" isn't important (or unknown) unless a violation shows up on one's license.

BTW: Supporters can do without the insults:
