On July 9, I decided to leave Braun Bay and head home in West Alton. The weather reported sever T storms starting at 5 PM. It was 3 PM and the clouds were getting really dark.
As I was approaching Jonathan's Landing, the waves were getting big and I notice a woman with 2 small children having trouble on a jetski. I decided to help out. As I was boarding her two daughters, a rogue wave came up over my stern and hydro locked the motor. Fortunately I was drifting into Jonathan's Landing marina. The jetski operator tow me in and made sure I did not hit the jetties. The kind folks at the landing allow me and the jetskier to dock for the duration of the storm. They allow us the use of the cabana at the pool. They even helped us get in touch with Texler's marina for repair advise and SeaTow to tow the boat to Trexlers. Trexler's went out of their way to take my boat first thing the next morning. The hydo lock created no major damage. I was out boating Thursday.

After years of helping out fellow boaters, I had a wonderful payback. Folks on Winnipesaukee really cares.
