I own a powerboat.

My heart goes out to those people who are getting taxed
off of the lake.

My neighbors (of a half-century) sold out last year because they couldn't maintain a repeat summer rental business. Reason? Big Wake damage to the renters' "small" boats.

In his case I and many others I've talked to on the lake
that read the postings on this forum will not miss him if this should happen.

My e-mailed "Fan-mail" and "Hate-mail" is running 50-50. Not bad, considering this straight-from-the shoulder, provocative style.

madrashs your postings have gotten so bad I've noticed that Skip is one of the only few who bother to debate you. Most of us just see your name attached and don't bother to read.

Thanks for reading.

I get frustrated with boating on the lake but I've never seen a more negative person in my life.

1) Yeah, I'm really down on ocean boats inappropriate for Winnipesaukee.
2) Negative? Wait a minute -- didn't you first post the terms "Weekend Warrior", "Drinking--while Boating Responsibly", "Staring-down a boater with the ROW?" and kayak "Speed Bumps"?

These posts just beg answering!

One can only hope there are not more like him.

If you don't like Winnipesaukee bald eagle sightings, old boats, handpumped wells, sailboating, local weather predicting, the quiet, leveling dock suggestions, swimming moose observations, mooring constructioin, the loons, bats, hummingbirds, kayak speedbumps, help with repairing your dock, locating sailboat sails, help finding a dog, moose/auto avoidance, finding Camp Wyanoke e-addresses, New Hampshire history...

or...

If you like Winnipesaukee water pollution, air pollution, milfoil, McMansions, Mega-Yachts, E. coli, silting-in, oil-spills, Big Wakes, unlighted boats at night, loud exhaust, non-enforcement of laws, Class "B" lake water, "View-Clearing", big green lawns, frantic drivers, extinctions, algae, burglar alarms, fishing the beds, murky water, Suburbia growing on Winnipesaukee's hills, Aspenization, monied interests, lobbyists, drunks, loose swim rafts, gas boycotts, bad drivers, and losing New Hampshire's small airports, there is always the buddy/ignore page: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...hp?do=editlist

Offshore boaters would still be happy if Lake Winnipesaukee was a mix of saltwater and ethylene glycol -- especially if that mixture caused those boats to gain 4 MPH.

Me, my parents -- and their parents -- have lived, sipped, and camped, Lake Winnipesaukee.

We would be unhappy.
