Default ...... the SWEPT AWAY!

New to me at the end of last August is a duck-hunter dark green colored 11-foot jon boat, made by Lund, that weighs about 70-lbs and is powered up by two wood oars, and artfully lettered with some 68-cent hardware store stick-on letters which say "SWEPT AWAY" across the stern transom. Capable of holding maybe three people and a dog, it is pretty danged sea worthy ..... all things considered ....as long as occupant's are even centered in this little vessel.

Totally capable of handling all heavy waves and wind that Lake Winnipesaukee can churn up.... the SWEPT AWAY lives close to FL-3 and tiny little Horse Island close to the southern end of Bear Island.

Paying the big money of $400, used price, via craigslist to someone out on Mark Island ..... the Swept Away is without a doubt .....the most fun boat on the entire lake.....as long as it don't get swept away by some big fast 45-mph motor-boater who never even sees it out there!
