I also went to Meredith on Sunday. Was fine in the late AM on the way there, but on the way back WOW. Huge waves from boat traffic. I have a 21 foot open bow Sea Ray, and I did have passengers in the bow and I was very careful. As for the accident, I definitely see how that could happen. I almost always anchor when the kids are swimming, so I don't drift and then need to move the boat with people in the water. After hearing this, I will never let the kids swim without anchoring first unless I am way out in the middle of moultonborough bay. I hope everyone is OK.
