By that I mean that it does not seem that the State or boating facilites (Marinas and such) are getting the word out. I went out of Goodhue Hawkins on Satuday morning, but they were not sure that the NWZ had been declared. I stuck in the area of Wolfeboro Bay, Parker's and Barndoor, and around that area boats were doing more than headway speed when not close to the shore line. If you had not been checking this board before the weekend you may not have known of the problem or the request for a voluntary NWZ. In 1998, that was the second year I had a boat on Winni and the NWZ was very well posted. Although for some it may be common sense to expect a NWZ, for others that are not familiar with the problems created by high water, it is not as obvious. The State should be posting, rather than relying on limited media coverage and word of mouth.
