Thanks to Dad207 for posting a thoughtful and polite request for people to respect the beauty of the lake at night. It is also common courtesy for your neighbors who ought not to be subjected to the glare of powerful lights coming in their homes from dusk to dawn.
And then there are the homeowners who are clueless about the impact of their lights. Case in point- on Tuesday night, we were coming back from Nolan’s (the new owners are doing a good job) and enjoying a beautiful moonlight ride home through Wolfeboro bay and around marker 66 until we encountered two powerful beacons coming from the bottom of Brickyard Cove. These lights belong at Logan Airport. While they might help a seaplane trying to land at night, they are a hazard to boaters dealing with the glare. Fortunately, according to Barndoor islanders facing the lights, they are on infrequently. Preserving the beauty of the lake for next generation is a noble goal for all of us who are blessed to be here.
