Lake Daytime Speed Limit

[fatlazyless]

Attention, all you Lake Winnipesaukee WACK-A-DOOZIES:

Going 45-mph in a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee is VERY fast and going any faster is totally WACK-A-DOOZIE!

Driving Rt 93 at 100-mph and driving Lake Winnipesaukee at speeds above 45-mph is totally WACK-A-DOOZIE ........ (period). .....

For all the sail boaters, kayaks, sup's, canoes, rowboats, and normal motor boats ...... the go fast - be loud boaters are a WACK-A-DOOZIE safety issue.

So, don't be a WACK-A-DOOZIE and obey the 45-mph speed limit!

My opinion and a number of seasoned boaters who have been on the lake for decades can and will agree that the lake is more dangerous as the years go by. Overcrowdenous and lack of common sense are worst! I'm glad I am able to enjoy the other Lakes Region lakes on the weekends while the 'pesaukee yahoos take over. Off-season Winnipesaukee is OK.

Now if we can enforce the current laws and make the safety course more stringent with a refresher course every few years, it will go a long way.

Adding more laws without enforcement does not work!

I agree. Looking at the crowds on the water today, the last thing I think should happen is to get rid of the speed limit. If it were up to me (and I know it isn't) I would add resources ($$$) to the marine patrol to enable them to better enforce existing laws, create a stricter education/license program, and greatly increase the registration/lake fees on boats larger than 25 feet to help fund things. Popular and realistic? No.

You can increase funding to Marine Patrol by checking the box on your gas tax refund to go to the Navigation Safety Fund. It's a tax deductible donation. M Money aside, Marine Patrol always has staffing problems i.e. getting trained officers who can work 3-4 months a year.

I think the word is WACK-A-DOODLE. I'd look it up but my dictionary does not speak Jive.

While it's not a dictionary word, wack-a-doozie is all about how it sounds, especially when used with multi-syllable Lake Winnipesaukee.

Is a slang word..... wack-a ..... wack-a ..... wack-a .....out there on Lake Winnipesaukee ..... it's a wack-a-doozie type of a day! .....

Is Slang as Swell as It Used to Be? ........... Yas! ....... http://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/22/op...ell-slang.html
