OK, but bring a House-Bounce-O-Meter® with you.
Bounce, maybe, but I'll bet you stay
dryer on your boat than where
I'll have you seated on my dock!
(Look for a PM).
Afternoons are not as...um...
entertaining...as mornings are. I can only speculate as to why the very same cruisers will return, creeping along, in the afternoon. Maybe it's a sensible warming-up of the engines before a headlong blast towards Smith Cove, Saunders Bay, Weirs and Lakeport?

A
Formula on eBay's auction site
broke apart and sank after hitting a Winnipesaukee wake.

You may recognize the most offensive of cruisers—and may want to have a word with a few of them yourself.
