Boating rules

[zantheman]

Greetings to all of you Winnipesaukee people. Winni is so beautiful and my favorite summer playground and I'm extremely jealous of all of you have gotten to make it your home. I am from a little distant cousin, Lake Hopatcong in Northern NJ. Even though it's smaller it has many similar characteristics and issues as those posted here about Winni.

Sunday, I saw one that stunned me. In a no wake zone approaching Brady Bridge (similar to the entrance to Pagus Bay from Wiers) 2 bikini clad women standing in the bow of a moving bow rider posing for pictures. They weren't only down on the floor either but up on the seats and rails as well. It is probably the stupidest move I have ever seen. Not only is this a high traffic area but like Winni our water level is pretty high and I was surprised they weren't almost decapitated going under the bridge. My bimini top is only clearing the bridge by 2-3 inches right now.

Hope the weather gets better for all of you up there. Going to try to make it up in August. Happy boating.
