Short bonehead story. Coming towards my dock at night there was some guy in a small boat fishing along it. I saw him...no problem but i guess he wanted to be sure so he shined his 1 million candle spot light in my face just to be sure I knew he was there. I suggested that to him that it was not a good idea to blind another boater but he told me i was an idiot and shined me again. I guess he left since I could not see anything for a few minutes or so.

I understand that the Marine Patrol has reduced their presence on the lake this year and I have noticed a substantial difference in the number of "Captain Boneheads".

1. In the Governors Island "No Wake" zone I was passed by someone who went around me doing 20 - 25 MPH.

2. I was going into the Weirs Channel and two jet skis, with operators over 40 years old, came in on my left, sped up to get ahead of me, and cut me off. I wanted to explain the 150 foot no wake rule as well as the right of way rule but did not feel like getting into an arguement.

3. And as far as courtesy: I was in a disabled boat this morning being taken into the Glendale docks by another boat. We were 100 feet from the docks and there was one open spot on the end. There were several open spots further in. A boat with 4 people came around us and when I informed them that we were moving toward that end dock and the woman on board yelled that they had to take the end spot because their boat driver was inexperienced. They did. We waited.

These are just a few examples. I have seen more violations and issues to address in the last month than I have in the past 5 years. I hope that the Marine Patrol gets a little more funding next year.

I was incorrect

Senate Bill 464 was the Senate bill and the 30 mph amendment is part of it . The final RSA is RSA 270-D:2 and that is what is shown on the http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/...-D/270-D-2.htm -patrol/restricted.html The nighttime speed limit is 30 MPH as of 8/27/10. http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/...-D/270-D-2.htm is the full page.
