Cpt Bonehead from RI

BroadHopper · 07-25-2010, 04:00 PM

Yesterday around 12:30 in the afternoon two boneheads were traveling at above wake speed through the channel from Paugus. One had NH bow number and the other had MS. Everyone was cursing at them. One did slow down after passing a Fountain as the Fountain swerve toward him forcing him to slow down. The other kept going and ignored everyone. Both were bowriders loaded with family and tube.

Friday, I saw one MP boat cruising through Weirs channel toward the end of the day. Probably checking out the boats for the Weirs fire works.

Saturday, I saw one MP boat at the Lake entrance to the Weirs Channel near sunset.

I use to see them everywhere. Now it is about once a day.

I agree, seems to be fewer and fewer MP these days.....

Unfortunantly in the few years that I have been spending time on Winnipesaukee I can safely say the weekend warrior issue is getting worse. But as bad as it might be its ten times that on other lakes. I dunno if there is a answer.... The caliber of Boneheads I'm used to would not last 2 hours on Winni, the rocks would get em before they could be a menace LOL!

This past week we saw a MP every time we went out. In fact, had a moron strong arm the right of way from me right in front of one. Those new boats the MP's have do a takedown pretty well

Talk about not checking your surroundings before doing something stupid....

Anyhow had a wonderful week, burnt up 50 gal or so of irreplaceable fossile fuel in the Sea Doos and enjoyed every minute of it

Looking foward to next time.

I like to use the channel due north of Eagle to avoid the NWZ. A lot of the time I'll be coming from the Weirs and will have to give way to somebody coming from the Meredith area (off my port side) who won't give way to me.
