I think If I was in trouble on the lake I would try to get to a island or shoreline. This is why we carry paddles on our boats, I think.

I've never tried to paddle a 30' flybridge cruiser, how do you reach the water with the paddle?

I got on 16 and radioed marine patrol but they were not "ON DUTY" which I think is the most assanine ridiculous thing I have ever heard

With technology available today there is no reason that a call from VHF16 isn't answered by Marine Patrol, even if it's an on-call officer based from his/her home.
Til then be aware the Coast Guard does monitor VHF16 24/7 and you can raise them from Winnipesaukee if needed. Anyone remember CG efforts to get Winnipesaukee boaters to move off channel 16 a few years ago because the chatter was inteferring with operations in Portland?
