House panel weighs 'Blizzard' boating bill

Thru the years I've seen sandbar crowds on Winnipesaukee come and go. Some years are rowdy and some years are quiet. It is the nature of the beast. Winnipesaukee sandbars are over regulated and overpatrolled. That is probably why they are not self regulated.

The Winnisquam sandbar is the opposite, very little police presence. Rafting is prevalient and very little trouble to be had. The Winnisquam folks do a great job regulating themselves.

I find the same self regulation in my travels to other lakes and rivers in NH, including the Great Bay. It looks like we took it upon ourselves to be a police lake?
