We went from Gilford to Pop's for lobster rolls on about noon Sunday. Excellent! The boat traffic was a little lighter than usual for a weekend. The wait for a dock in Alton was about 5 minutes. An hour later there were only two boats waiting for docks.
We went through the Weirs Channel about 2 PM and the boat traffic exiting Paugus Bay was the heaviest and slowest I have ever seen it. When heading back out we sat in 5 wide traffic in front of Pier 3 condominiums for about 15 minutes, only moving about 50 feet.
The enlargement of rack storage and the addition of condominiums and boats will only increase the daily boat traffic from Paugus Bay out to the main lake. North Water Marine boat traffic entering the mess into the Channel only made Sunday's jam up worse. As that facility grows the problems will only continue to grow.
