I could not find the story in their on-line edition, but if you can get your hands on today's (August 27, 2004) edition of the Manchester Union Leader please turn to page B8 of the State & Local section. The weekly "A Question of Law" column, published in conjunction with the New Hampshire Bar Association, responds to a reader's question of:

Question: I own a vacation home with shorefront property on a New Hampshire Lake. Frequently, people fish, anchor their boat, swim, wade or moor their boat in the waterright in front of my property. I view this as my yard. Are people allowed to be so close to my shoreline?

A very informative response explaining the law is then given by Sgt. Crystal McLain of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol (good job, Sgt. McLain).

In closing, the article also reaffirms the Marine Patrols request that you call them at 603-293-2037 for any of your questions on boating laws and regulations.

Its very good reading if you can find it.....
