Today is Wednesday, July 12, and looking at the weather forecast for this weekend, July 14-15-16, Fri-Sat-Sun, it says rain 90%-60%-70% for these three days.

Having a rainy weekend what with the high Lake Winnipesaukee water level which is going up and up will definitely make for a lot fewer boats out there, making big boat wakes that hit the shoreline and shake, rattle and roll a submerged, or almost submerged dock a lot less likely to be happening.

A relatively light weight aluminum dock will pitch and roll like a slinky or something when an incoming two foot boat wake rolls underneath it and uplifts it with each water slap ....... slap-slap-slap ..... that 500-lb dock just done got moved one inch by an incoming wake ..... slap-slap-slap.

Is why some boats get stored on a boat lift ..... too many waves and wakes .... slap-slap-slap .... moving lake waves and wakes have power and energy ..... is called 'water power.'
