There are other Winnipesaukee locations, swept by the NW wind's rolling "seas", that are too deep for a maintainable breakwater. (Like my location).
I agree with RG that there should be an automatic NWZ at a certain lake level.
In recent memory, there have been five Winnipesaukee episodes where dock damage has been a factor. Surely flooding of southeastern New Hampshire during the extreme weather events such as we've been having would lead the powers-that-be to maintain a lower lake level. We've all managed to boat in Fall, when the waters are egregiously low.
I can't help thinking that the increase in average boat size hasn't played into the lake-height mix. What is a lakefront owner to do?
This boathouse received
two new docks last summer, and was fully cross-braced against a winter's ice that didn't arrive! It doesn't look so "new" today.
