My leaky 33 year old aluminum boat took me from buoy 3 to Meredith town docks, and made it back going strong....can never be too sure......nice to know the Marine Patrol still has a boat in the water just in case. Saw the MV Bear II from Camp Lawrence, and a pontoon boat over by Mark Island. Otherwise, the waters were calm & serene under that warm January sunshine.....and very quiet. Ice...ice.....what ice?

Hey, this is a little off-topic but my Meredith property taxes have gone up so much that I have to pay the town, each year, more than twice what I paid for my boat, motor & trailer, an it's not a bad boat. The boat will get me from Centre Harbor to Meredith to Gilford to Wolfeboro. And what will my property taxes get me? A lot of it goes to Belknap County and the state school tax.

This state needs a broad-based tax, and an income tax is the fairest, and the Republicans will be losing their Republican NH advantage for the long haul so all these new-to-be FORMER Republican reps and senators should go take up ice fishing, or something.
