Many more boats at swimming spots

[pitosalas]

Has any one else noticed (or think they noticed) that this year there seems to be more crowding at popular (and even previously not popular) swimming spots on the lake? (For example the shallow area near half mile island / Center Harbor, or near Wallace Island in Moultonborough and many other spots?)

I wonder why; what's different? My first guess would be 'the recession' but I don't see how that would make any sense...
