June Boating Plans and Stories

We are headed up to Meredith on Thursday to spend the day/night so I am keeping my fingers crossed for goo weather :-)

The Marriott Compound is a loose string of about 12 waterfront (and new 2nd-tier) homes. All are located at Mill Point—eastward—starting from Tuftonboro Neck's flasher 19.

The several "traditional" homes and boathouses were originally owned by a Massachusetts food purveyor. Was it "Friend's" bean company?

Especially in June, gawkers are welcome: nobody's there except all the region's maintenance people.

The "goo weather" ended at Wednesday—Noon...it had stopped raining, and cleared to a lake nearly empty of boats. In the early afternoon, the lake had transformed to mostly-sunny with a perfect 11-kt breeze.

That Mill Point boathouse that was built—blocking every abutter's view? Look for fresh roofing lumber . The boathouse-owners couldn't see over it either, and are presently adding a second floor!

GM doesn't bother to machine starters to fit: GM starters must be shimmed. If improperly shimmed, the starter can damage the flywheel.

And...oops...a correction...I'd earlier dropped the "1" from flasher 19.

Now that I've reviewed the photo of your boat, I'm certain that I'd seen your boat—maybe it was Friday: There's no need to be shy about it, as I believe you were in near-compliance with Winnipesaukee's rules and regulations.
