...I also enjoyed the lake. After spending a day at work and not really enjoying it at all, including having to stay late because another employee called out for the umpteenth time, I headed home with the sun beating into the car. As I rounded the curve at Parker's and saw how smooth the lake was, I didn't even stop to check mail. Into the house, give the cats their treats, change clothes and back down to Parker's to the boat. Time to unsnap the boat cover: 5 min. Time to cover the boat up when done: 10 min. Time spent cruisin' on our beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee: 45+ mins and priceless.
I went out Alton Bay, weaved around the fishing boats at the end of the bay, headed west past West Alton, out between Diamond and Rattlesnake, across the broads to near the opening into Winter Harbor, over to Chestnut Cove, back into Alton Bay, and back to the dock.
I was in shirt sleeves and jeans, comfortable, and totally peaceful out there. Hardly a ripple on the water, except in the broads where there was just a hint of wind putting a little ripple on the water.
Once up on plane, never touched the throttle until I was approaching the bandstand back at Alton Bay.
Won't be many more days like that. Man, do I love living at the lake.
