Ok,that house bill sure did stir up a hornets nest for quite a while.Now lets work on the real issue of safety on the lake and that's stopping the capt boneheads who don't have a clue about the 150 safe passage law.I wonder if we could work with the marine patrol to report offenders tag numbers and have them recorded so these boats could be issued if not citations,then at least be made aware they are not operating in compliance with NH inland navigational rules.The MP,just like your local police,need more eyes out there.I for one have said all along that the one big problem I have on Winni is the violaters of the safe passage.I truely beleive most of the offenders don't even know they are doing anything wrong.Twice last year and twice the year before I had encounters with family boats who when I motioned for them to move away from me,waved back like I was saying hi.I must admit that I wasn't familiar with the 150ft rule until 6 years ago when I was riding my pwc at a friends place in Gilford,and he let me know pretty quick what I was doing wrong.That stuck in my head ever since.So let's celebrate quietly and work to improve where the problems REALLY lie.
