There were a number of trailered boats, you are absolutely correct - I would go a step further and say that out of those 3 boats that 1 of them was trailered in from elsewhere in NH and not a regular Winni boater. I spoke to a number of folks that day, that live in NH but not the Lakes Region and loved Winni (what's not to love right
)
We did have many local Baja'ers as well, but it is unfortunate that more did not participate given the run was dedicated to fire firefighter Mark Miller. It could only have been a more successful donation that was made.
I hope those regular Winni Baja folks that read this forum will consider joining in next year and be part of next years contribution to the Fire Department, I'm sure there will be expenses and maintenance costs associated with the new Rescue Boat (that is expected to be delivered mid August).
