Lake Winnepausaukee

It hasn't become a major issue yet (despite the seaplane that flipped over
on the lake a few weeks back -- i think the NTSB blamed it on a wake), but
I have witnessed some seaplanes coming uncomfortably close to powerboaters
and even kayakers. How on earth can a pilot see if there is a kayaker
where he/she intends to land??

Its hard enough to see these kayakers when you on the water (although my
trusty Furuno usually picks them up), so i don't see how a landing plane
can possibly see them.


Well, if that's the case, then it's in the best interest of the kayaker to
move out of the way of the seaplane, right-of-way be damned.

By the way, it's Winnipesaukee, not Winnepausaukee.

That is absurd. Every day there are stories about drunk drivers and/or
boaters. Thing is, they get CAUGHT. That is the distinction.

Now, I know that certain pilots have this superiority complex thing. I
think it is mostly the $3500/21 day pilots, and not the pros.

Remember this, if you land your plane on the lake, you follow OUR rules,
and i can legally come within 200 feet of you at any speed I choose.
When I see a rude pilot try to muscle his way onto the lake, I am going to
exercise MY legal right to boat. And my 27PC with both screws turning
around 4100 rpms can put out a mean wake. Then you can whine to your boy
Phil Boyer.

When the planes land on the lake, do Coast Guard regulations or the FAR's
apply?


I had heard from a CFI that ther eis a fly in occasionally, and they meet up
in some bay. He told me they also do that in Winter when the lake freezes
over.

That's a good one. You fly boys want control of the lakes too! Get Phil
Boyer on it immediately!

Such attitudes beget groups like Stop the Noise, Plane Sense, etc.

Do you advocate rudeness for all boaters? Why do you feel your legal rights
are greater than the pilot's legal rights?

What a great bunch we have here.

Both:

Back in season full swing as the drunken yuppies take to the waters in
Cape Cod Bay and surrounding waters. ASCC dispatched four aircraft
to distressed boaters this week who were too messed up to realize that
they were out of fuel, or could not select a tank with fuel. License
boaters? Absatively.

Have a great one!

When the boats are on the lake, do ALWAYS ignore Coast Guard regulations or
are they just drunk?

Why the large chip on your shoulder, trollboy? Having trouble making
your monthly payment on that boat? Or is it the fact that you are
unable to use your dual screw Tupperware 45% of every year when the
great waterways of NH freeze over?

Oh, I know: You just returned from a long day of scraping Zebra
Mussels off the hull...

[nothing interesting]

[took the bait]

Frankly, you guys need to wise up to the fact that "Skylune" is the best
troll we've seen in awhile. He says stuff just stupid enough to get a
response, but not so clearly whacked out for the regulars here to killfile
him.

Look at all the traffic he's managed to generate with his idiotic posts.
Everyone's falling over themselves to correct him, when the best way to put
him in his place would be to just ignore him.

I look forward to when the rest of you have wised up. I admit, it took
me a few posts, but I've already figured it out.

As a certified control freak, I wouldn't fly in a light plane for any
reason, especially considering how dangerous they are. I would fly in a
double engine plane with a very well trained, professional pilot, of
course, but that clearly rules you out....


Are you suggesting you have control over a "very well trained, professional
pilot" in a "double" engined plane or are you suggesting that they don't
crash? Perhaps you should read up on the Aspen crash a few years ago.
