Don't laugh too hard. The boaters on Winnipesaukee are, in general, the best behaved I have ever seen... It's really quite mellow here compared to other places I have boated, especially when you consider the crowds. Things could be vastly worse!

Lake Winnipesaukee is an awesome place for a video shoot! Too bad I'm not all that photogenic... LOL!

Try boating on the intercoastal in sunny FLA, or the Cape, or just about anywhere else on the East Coast..... no 150' rule, the only real measure of traffic control are the no-wake "manatee zones". People may complain about 150' violations but it really is a a great law. Even if another boat comes within 40' - 50' of you while on plane you are still pretty safe! There is very little danger/chance of collision. On the intercoastal its 10' - 15' away while on plane... a much greater chance for collision... and highly unerving!

I'm not photogenic either, Woodsy -- I believe I look much better in real life than on camera, lol! (Yes, I have a magic mirror!

)

Maybe we should both answer the call?
