Are you suggesting the Marine Patrol should ignore citizen complains about lawbreakers?

There would not be a problem with landowners complaining about rafting if they did their homework and researched before they bought their lakefront homes.
The lake is a public way, and all that comes with it, yes this includes the noise the loud music the hanging out drinking, everything else as well.
Come to think of it is becoming no different then living in the city. Loud cars with tricked out weed whacker engines and big pipes, and have their base cranked up and think it might actually sound good. Sounds like a day on the lake to me.
Wait till the lake starts to pick up to the boating volumes of 7-5 years ago when you could hardly find a place to hang out and Weirs channel was backed up from one end to the other EVERY weekend not just on the holidays. I remember weekends where the channel was blocked off in one direction to alleviate the traffic backup.
It is a lake, people don’t just come up to drive around all day, if you want to park and swim or hang out it shouldn’t be a problem as long as your not anchored right off someone’s dock or swim raft. Winnipesaukee isn’t the quiet, peaceful, tranquil place it was 100 years ago and it never will be again and it is only gonna get worse as time goes on. Sad but true, it is called tourism. Once started it grows to the point of overcrowding then people look for other less crowded places to go.
