Okay, so I know I should let it go, but I was about to climb into the water for a little swim after the storm this afternoon and had to stop. Our neighborhood loon, big white breast and huge black head, was just about 25' from my dock. I couldn't bear to disturb him. So I sat and watched a while.
Then, screaming around Little Mark, clearly not more than 25' from the marker (so much for the 150' rule) there came one of those monster cigarette boats at a ridiculous rate of speed. He whooshed by the loon and, of course, never saw it. So, I can't help but wonder, "Why bother putting such a boat on this lake?" When they miss such wonderful sites, the things that make Winnipesaukee, well, Winnipesaukee, why not just go to the ocean and have your speed thrills? Why disturb, not appreciate, not see, and even endanger the precious wildlife on this wonderful lake?
I will never understand...and I can't just "let it go".
