Renting a boat for a day to explore. Tips?

[Descant]

Once you have your own place, you probably won't go to the Weirs (or other places) as often. Friday for lunch is still a weekday and not as busy as, say, Saturday. If you're going for lunch, I'd try the Naswa or Akwa Marine, both nearby. If your guests need parking, Weirs is OK and you can pick them up at the public docks and go wherever you want. Wind, waves won't matter much if you're just coming to the dock for them to jump on. Put out a couple of fenders and come across the end of the dock if there isn't much space, but I think on a Friday, you won't find it overcrowded. If you pick a dock behind the Mount or Winnipesaukee Gardens, it is protected.
