The picture appeared just once: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...&postcount=211

What I stated in late August:

Quote:
"I haven't witnessed anything like this wake since one snapped my BIL's 23-foot monohull sailboat's ½" nylon dock line; fortunately, a visitor had his camera handy and photographed 'The Incoming Wake'. (And the soaked aftermath ).

"We never saw the boat!"
(Translated, that means I never saw the boat that made that wake).

Since then, I'd kept my eyes peeled and have identified the boat—after a second soaking.

What I'm "getting at" was to try to provoke the thought that rafting may need to be allowed to concentrate somewhere: Winnipesaukee's "Boat demographics" have changed in recent years.

Over lunch, I wouldn't want to be rafting and hit by a wake like that, when it can so thoroughly soak a dock even with the lake "down" in late-August.
