Good thing you can go past NH in a few hours.

I also learned that every NH resident operating a boat over 25 HP after 2008
must take a proctored examination and get a certificate. Out of state
residents are required to have the certificate if they operate more than 30
consecutive days in NH. The MA certificate is not recognized by NH!

Thomas better make sure his next boat is under 25 HP.

And people keep telling how free the US is.

If you are singlehanding, or the only person on board qualified to
operate the vessel, could you not make the argument that you had to
anchor and get some sleep or else you would become a danger to yourself
and others? Can NH enforce a law that requires you to violate the COLREGS?


As of June next year, you're going to need a passport to get back into
your own country after visiting Canada, which we'll let you do with just
a drivers license. I wonder what our border services people would do if
your guys sent one of your back?

Isn't that the State with "Live Free or Die" on its license plates?

One can only assume that the State of New Hampshire is now populated
entirely by zombies.

I don't know about you guys but I sleep IN my boat, not ON my boat.

Very easy to beat that stupid reg in court. And, besides, how are they going
to know somebody is sleeping if they are IN their boat sleeping and not ON
their boat sleeping. Unless they sneak aboard and sneak below and catch you
sleeping how can they claim you WERE sleeping. Such a dumb law. Can't be
enforced. Even Dave would probably admit that and he's a lawyer - well,
sorta!

Roger,, the regs for NH apply mostly to Lake Winnipesaukee

The land/shore owners on Lake Winnipesaukee don't like having boaters
moored out in front of their cottages.

I doubt this rule could be enforced in the harbor area.. but;:

The state takes the boat registration money, spends it on law enforcement
and then the law enfocement has nothing to do so they dream up rules..

As a NH ite .. I hate to say this but our state is turning into a **** pie.
Soon we will be
Mass north. Taxes, corruption, .. Of course, Maine isn't much better..

Guess its time to move to ?? Where ?? Help.. is there a safe place left.

Oh well.. I'm heading for Sweden.. Sure,, it is a socialist pit.. but ...
the women..

The women..

Hi there,
I’ve been reading the posts to this group for some time now, I’m
writing to let all you guys on the other side of the Atlantic know
that while it is not exactly reassuring, it is something of a comfort
to know that us boaters in the UK are not the only ones being driven
crazy by silly rules and petty bureaucrats.
