Default God Bless and Keep us...

I lived here [ Year Round And boated mostly in An 19'er Bow Rider ] and was out in the Broads section of Lake Winnipesaukee in some of the worst weather that this Lake ever saw. I have had Many friends visit and in fact put their much larger boats in with my own pickup truck. The largest was a 41' Sonic SE High Deck... Now, true, when you come out onto the 'Big Lake' from Paugus Bay and the wind is blowing, you may need to tack, not so much as a sailboat, but to keep you're passengers dry in what ever prevailing winds...

If you want to do Lake Winnipesaukee in any boat, seat yourself, get every chart you can, helps to study them first and if you are human and pay attention, you will enjoy!... Just remember that we are land creatures First! If you should ever find yourself offshore and have to throw your hands up in the air for any unforeseen situation, it could already be too late. There is only so much that MP or Coast Guard can do!
We all love frogs, however sometimes frogmen have to search for bodies that never learned how to survive out of Mother Earth's pretence for those of us that normally breath pure air.

Sorry for the rant!
