Actually, through all the humor and poking fun, there is certainly a lot of merit to some traffic flows, especially in the more congested areas. When I first started power boating as an adult on the lake, it wasn't all that long ago...the late 70's. Dad had a 17' Thompson I/O and when we would come back down Alton Bay heading back to the dock, he always said keep well to the right, especially at night. We would go past Little Mark flasher, heading to the left of Bayside Motel until we picked up Echo Pt flasher. Then it was Sandy Point Restaurant til we picked up the Sandy Point flasher. Keep it close to the flasher and head for the right side of the bandstand. Seemed natural, like driving a car. Same principal going in and out of Wolfeboro, down to Merideth, going down to Moultonboro...keep to the right and pass with care. Of course things were less crowded then, but I still see the principals working these days.
Just reread this post and almost seems like morals charges are about to be brought!!!
Looks like we need to educate, enforce, re-educate, re-enforce, and when all else fails, bring out the heavy equipment!!!
