Rafting question.

Captn'J · 08-01-2005, 10:36 AM

I was the only boat anchored in Wentworth Cove near the Governor's Island Bridge in Gilford on Sunday morning, about 25 feet from shore. It was about 10:00 AM, the radio was off and I was just relaxing reading the paper. MP came along side me a advised me that I was "rafting" and need to be 150 feet from shoreline. I didn't question him, I just politely picked up anchor and went on my way. I thought "rafting" was two or more boats tied together. I know Wentworth Cove is a no rafting area, but was I rafting ? The patrolman did tell me that's this is a new rule this year and is in effect all over the lake in "No Rafting" areas. The only exception in Braun Bay which is 75 feet from shoreline.
