I kayak in Alton Bay all the time. As long as you stay along the shore you should not have any problem. If there are alot of boats around (not likely during the week) just stay out of the middle. I average around 4 miles per hour in either of my two kayaks. Last week I went from Echo Point over to Wolfboro and back in about 3 hours (about 6 miles each way). If you will be doing alot of sightseeing you'll probably average around 3 miles per hour. Since the bay is around 5 miles long, you could see the whole bay in about 3 to 4 hours.
