An out-of-state occasional visitor asked why the NH Marine Patrol isn't enforcing wake rules.
I sure picked a terrible summer to hire a helper to repair major dock damage!
...and wind is preferable even when returning from an 8-mile distant Wolfeboro fireworks display in a 14-foot wooden boat. (Back when the biggest boat in Winter Harbor was a 18-foot wooden Thompson)...
But I think help is on the way!
(Starting elsewhere, of course).

The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District's (LMCD) new rule requiring all boats to maintain a speed of 5 mph or less within 300 feet of the shore is now in effect. This is an increase from the previous 150-foot distance.
"After soliciting input and hosting a public listening session, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Board determined that our regulations did not reflect current trends in boating equipment and activities," Ann Hoelscher, LMCD board chair, said in a statement. "This rule will help ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone who visits Lake Minnetonka."

My three newest neighbors--2022--have cut down their century-old shoreline trees. I can now see five hundred feet of the neighbors' shorelines and docks.
(When at one time, I couldn't see or hear any neighbors at all).
One has mud puddling where their new lawn was supposed to go...much mud has already flowed into the lake...
