From PBM, I would explore Sally's gut and the coves of Stonedam island, then the small coves in the middle of Bear Island, the passage between Pine Island and Meredith neck, Becky's garden and under the Black Cat bridge, then see the big boat house on Swallow point, anchor and see the eagles on Blueberry island, then maybe five mile island. Stop at Braun Bay to see the drunks, then under the LI bridge, around the back of LI to East cove to anchor or go through the Hole in the wall. Stop by Ragged island dock or anchor off the beach for a break. Swing around the other side of Cow in that nice cove then down to Winter harbor for Johnson's cove. Then buzz down by Wolfeboro, wave to Mitt and check out the cove behind Worcester Island. If you are brave go near the rocks for nice spot in the middle of the Varney islands. Sneek out behind Barndoor and try anchoring in Bickyard cove, noticed boats there for the first time last week. Go across the Broads and try the old faithful West Alton sandbar, the north side is always open. Then up the lake, sometimes it's fun to anchor in front of Ames farm, Samoset or Ellacoya, always lots of fish at the drop off. Next explore Smith cove, my weekend home and the best views of the ugliest marina in the lake. Or go around Varney point and anchor off the Gilford town beach always a good breeze and boat wakes. Continue on past the Witches, down behind GI, a lot of people hang out in the cove near the bridge. Under the bridge and your back to the Weirs.
