What a beautiful boat you've got—for the lake in these conditions—with the cockpit exactly in the perfect location.

Was it Thursday that the waters were incredibly flat? I saw these two stand-up boarders enjoying the sunny warmth and the calm waters:

But in the time it took to walk down to the dock—in the identical acre of space:

Anyone else doubting that those 2 pics were taken that close together?

If you look at the shadows on the boathouse you can tell the pics were taken at 2 completely different times....

Shocking... I know!

Who said they were at the same time?

Probably the footnotes under each picture and these words by APS...

"But in the time it took to walk down to the dock..."

The statement is quite clear - the two pictures were not taken at the same time. Details, people, details.

Pricestavern...

How long does it take to walk down the dock? 5 minutes? 10 Minutes? 1/2 hour? His statement implies the pictures were taken in fairly close time frame. Clearly the shadows are VERY different... thus the pictures were taken HOURS apart.... my guess is the first pic was taken right around noon and the second somewhere around 4:00ish... But hey its all in the details right??!

And of course, all of this has a lot to do with wind and waves.

Back to the topic...this is getting VERY old. I hope they are right that the winds will finally die down for awhile starting late tomorrow.

Why so literal <in the voice of the Joker>

I believe the post was dramatizing how fast the conditions changed. A response was posted that the pictures were not taken at the same time and the original poster was wrong to have stated such. I simply pointed out that the original post did indeed state that there was a time interval between pictures. End of point.

I have no inclination to determine the declination of inclination of the sun via shadows. I give you the latitude to make your estimates and your speculates.

This is crazy! (but funny) since It's been brought up, Cloud cover could explain the difference in shadows, BUT, is the lounge chair on the dock tilted at more of an angle OR is the difference due to the photo being taken from a different aspect by the perp, CLAIMING he moved DOWN to the dock???? There for creating the Illusion of the back being raised a few notches. Or, is the 2nd picture taken AFTER someone used the chair? I don't know. You decide.

Aps has a history of misleading pictures and twisted posts to push his agenda. My inclination is this is another example.

The post had everything to do with the high performance boat breaking laws in front of his house, because in his opinion the fact that it is there in the first place is breaking laws that should exist.

Thank you, Codeman. I guess in the end, it was I that was being too literal. I see the nuance now.

Doh! I should have had a V8 (or is that too powerful an engine)?

Too bad. If doubters had made that determination, the result would have been 43 minutes and 55 seconds—only "off" by 3 hours.

The two SUPs had yet to return into view.

"The Lake is for Everybody". Diminishing winds bring out canoes, kayaks, inflatables, rowing sculls—and today—SUPs.

This is the same NHMP provocation by the same provocateur—annually. Where does the enthusiastic support come from? Not from those on Winter Harbor who witness such regular transgressions. My video, which appeared here last season showed dangerous, uncontrollable "chine-walking"—typical of such boats at top speed.

I agree with the NHMP, who write, "Good skippers...":
