Folks forget that rafting is "new" to Winnipesaukee.
Since the state provides boat ramps, they also should buy or create (by dumping sand on the ice) a big shallow sandy island -- or two -- somewhere. Maybe off Bear Island?
Rattlesnake Island?
Actually, the lake has gotten so rough on weekends that people don't raft in front of my place any longer. (Some of my family members, remembering that rafting wasn't practiced years ago, also went to embarrassing excesses to shoo them away. So I have much
less of a gripe than others may have here).
My chief complaint
was "hooking" my water intake by the rafters' anchors.
(They can't move it
now though)!
That said, I enjoy
most the south end view of the Ossipee Mountains --
not the south end view of rafters.
How about that sandy island, New Hampshire?
