The list of islands here has none north of the entrance to Ash cove:

Note: Ash cove is circled by Hanson Dr., but Hanson Cove is on the opposite side of the neck, adjacent to Greens Basin. |
Over the years, Bizer accumulated many statistics about islands. About three years ago, Ron Guilmette took Bizer' data and set out to kayak to each one. He published a book, "The Islands of Winnipesaukee". As a result of his extensive research, I now consider Ron to be a higher authority on Islands. We converse a few times each year about islands. I have sent him a copy of this thread for us to discuss. It may take us a month or so, but we'll get to the bottom of this.
I don't recall either of these land masses being islands. The Moultonborough Assessors' office does show "B" to be an island. The tax maps show a gap of about 15-20 feet between "A" and "B", although it sure doesn't look it from aerial photographs.
