You went right by our house in West Alton when the Mount came between Sleepers, Cub and Treasure Islands and the mainland near Minge Cove. Several of our neighbors rang bells as she came by, and the Capt. blew the whistle. It was a beautiful night for a cruise.

It was also very interesting to see how many homes/cottages along the shores flash their outside lights at the Mount as she cruises past their properties. If our schedule permits, I'd like to get in a ride a week for the rest of the season on one of the 3 vessels.

Question Season Pass?

So glad that you had a great time Rag Top Daze! You are right, the Mount truly is an asset to NH and the Lakes Region.

If you don't already have one, I think you would be a great candidate for a season pass!



We love it when the Mount comes cruising by our place! If I'm there, I will always go to the dock and wave. With the new engines being so quiet, she keeps sneaking up on me, so occasionally I miss her! We flash the lights at night too.

Looking forward to another cruise or two or three - there are still so many to choose from!

Here is a good video of The Mount departing from Weirs Beach. Posted by lakewinnipesaukee (That's not me - I'm RattlesnakeGal )

So funny you should mention this RSG. In the spring, we did in fact purchase a season pass...and 3 weeks later I decided it would be a fun place to work for the summer. Guess what one of the employee perks is...you guessed it! Riding on the ships! I am having fun with the part time job. Riding the ships is right up there with driving my RagTop!!

I hope you all get a chance to enjoy a ride in the Mount, the Sophie C and the Doris E this summer

I understand how everyone got so excited about the new Mount's engine conversion + -. Being the gearhead that I am, as soon as I found out that they had chosen CatMopiller's to replace the Enterprise engines, I locked on. Now, Let me splain. The M/S Mount Washington has run in my family veins since years, along with Lake Winnipesaukee herself. Please understand that to move on from where you were sometimes means change...
However, we still flow, and are very much so here.
I am starting to cry now, so I will leave you all with this message...

Live Life to the fullest Where ever you happen to be and enjoy every moment of.

Please don't cry trfour! My meaning was that I occasionally miss her physically coming by.

I must admit that occasionally I do miss the distinctive rattle of her old power plants, but I am on board with the new and improved Cats.

I simply love The Mount and her rich history!
