I live here all boating season, and use two criteria for how local weekend crowding is in my 3 square miles of view. I'd previously listed shoreline picnic anchoring—which is nearly absent—so here's the other:

Q: How many boats are operating simultaneously, crammed right between Wolfeboro's Camp Keewaydin and Tuftonboro's "Wingate" shore?

A: The "record for crammed boats" off Keewaydin is fourteen, making it way-impossible for any boat to be 150-feet from one another: just four Jet-Skis could not be in compliance there.

Saturday, a large cruiser was anchored in the gap there (!) but still, no more than two boats passed through together that day.

(Sunday was a "wash"—pardon the expression —with some very big lightning strikes).

Yes, boating is down—way down.
