Looking at the weather forecast for the next eight days till August 1st, and feel'n the weather, it sure seems like the rainy weather has done left the building for now. This should be a BIG plus for lowering the Lake Winnipesaukee water level by about 3.5-inches between today and August 1st. Time will tell and we just have to wait and watch as the level goes down a wee small bit, each and every day, now till August 1.
I know there was some people on this lake with a very olde aluminum dock, low in the water, and actually one to three inches under the water, all weighted down with 32-gal trash water barrel, granite blocks, concrete garden blocks and 250-lb 5-gal concrete bucket, about 20 different weighty items, that was able to survive yesterday's 10-hour constant incoming big water wakes just fine with no damage what-so-ever because it, the dock, was weighted down and mostly underwater ..... just like a submarine.
So, where there is a will, there is a way! You just need to think it ahead a little bit and assume that some bad things will usually happen ...... (you got that, Looney Bin ......
