I live almost across from her on Pine Island and I can confirm that she indeed yells at a lot of folks. Having said that, the number of boats throwing a significant wake going by our dock at maybe 15ft distance when my kids are swimming right next to it has increased significantly this summer. ... I was thrilled to see MP patrol the Y Landing area heavily over the last few weeks. It is a really tight spot between our dock and the A Frame at Oliver and I am actually surprised at how many folks chose to go through that small channel instead of the Pine Island/Bear Channel to get to Y.

Default Wacky Wake

Forgot to mention that she also yells at cars on Powers Road as she walks her dog, frequently not facing traffic

A certain free publication has an ad for over-sized boats. One ad begins with, "Dominate the lake"...

I scanned Pine Island with Google's satellite view. Only one third of the island has a stand of Pines the remainder of the island has scattered trees with the rest appearing like "hard-pan" dirt.

That lady must have purchased the property in winter. (Never do that...!)

That said, I think she needs a mooring offshore, with "a boat":

Default ... InflataBull to the rescue!

You know....here's an easy-to-do solution for her ..... for just 49.99, shipping included.....from walmart.com......she could order the 'Intex InflataBull' floating swim raft-riding bull, and position it between her dock and the boat traffic flow.

The outside dimension is an 8-ft diameter circle, color-black, with a realistic looking bull inside that will move about with the waves and wakes.....rocking back and forth.....plus it is a real challenge to ride it and stay on the bull..... not just for kids....fun for 200-lb adults, too.

For a swim raft.....it's the best fifty dollars ever spent.

www.intexcorp.com/56285ep.html ..... The InflataBull ..... no NH state mooring permit required for rafts ..... weight inflated - about 15-lbs ...with its' round 94" base and two handles is relatively easy to rig a mooring, will not flip over, upside down, with a big wind ..... a very stable design.

For best mooring .... just use the very durable 5/16" polyethylene yellow line ...... the low priced yellow line .... attached underneath to the two handles with a sliding loop bowline knot .... and anchored down to a large cinder block ..... or something heavy.

Once in position, this Bull definitely seems to have somewhat of a happy bull attitude along with two big horns....like a guard bull!

...... has that graz'n out in the pasture type of a bully expression......... moo!

Here comes the Bull ...... there goes the Bull ....... good for a bully laugh ....... gets bully attention....... no bull about it..... so bully this ....... yee-haa! ...
