I just don't get it - I've never lost a prop, or come anywhere close!
I guess spending years sailing on a boat with a 6-foot keel makes you navigate a bit more carefully... ![]() |

I don't think anyone sets out, to come close, or "take a chance"...it just happens. Lose focus for a split second in Sally's Gut...CRUNCH! Travell thru the Weirs chanell late in the year, with the lake down, move a fraction to far to the side...CRUNCH. Decide to spend a Saturday afternoon in a small cove you have never been in...CRUNCH. I, too, can say I have never lost a prop...knock wood...but assume I have come close (I once enter the Witches at close to 35 MPH). I'm sure I have come very close other times, and never knew it. Part of the deal on Winni. Being careful and a good navigator has little to do it. I think most of us are very careful, and know our way around. Unmarked rocks around some of the small islands are waiting for you...don't temp fate with such an arrogant statement. The boating gods of Winni will take notice... |

Yup. I clipped my first prop ever this year, just outside of Sally's Gut and I know for a fact that I was inside of the markers, just got a little too close while admiring some of the houses.

YUP: Happened to me a couple of years ago when I hit a rock while showing a guest the Real Estate at Umbrella Point (Wolfeboro Neck). It put a nice "Curl" in my $400 SS Cleaver. I'm tellin ya: It's the Real Estate that did it. And the property wasn't even all that nice.

Looks nice. How come no dollar value on taxes?
