July 4th observation

I think it was last year.

I also know someone who skied through Sally's Gut many years ago.

The Lake looked crazy yesterday.

Hmmm. Never gone through Sally's Gut at speed. Hard to make that sharp bend with a full length 75' ski line.
Always impressed by the video of 4 abreast snowmobiles skimming the Weirs Channel.
How about folks from the other side of the lake? Anybody ski from Back Bay to Wolfeboro Bay under Main St.?

Not sure how a skier would be able to do that without his/her head being chopped off by the low clearance bridge. Matter of fact, most boats won't fit under that bridge.

When I was an active skier, and more limber than I am now, I could sit on my skis, hands down by my ankles. The clearance is close but probably easy especially at low water. The question might be the boat. Certainly one with no windshield. A Donzi Sweet Sixteen would qualify.

It was bananas. We just have an ancient 20’ Sea Ray so didn’t leave the island, but did hop in the kayaks and watched the madness while hugging the shoreline. The wakes were so big a 24’ bow rider that was anchored would almost disappear from view in the trough.

It was a bit quieter today so we ventured over to Glendale late afternoon. No less than 5 times during the trip over we ended up having to yield when we were clearly the stand-on, or take evasive maneuvers to avoid boats who either weren’t paying attention or had no clue about who had right of way (or just didn’t care).

The east entrance to Sally's Gut is very narrow and shallow. I can't imagine how anyone could water ski there.

There is no bridge at Sally's Gut. ��

It does seem impossible to make this tight turn towing a skier on a rope:

They were obeying the limits of the no wake zone. What great citizens! 😇
