Not sure what source you used, but the entirety of Lake Wentworth is within Wolfeboro town limits -- it is the largest lake in NH entirely within one municipality, without qualification.

N72EH.....tail numbers on a new Boston based helicopter ambulance. The EH are the initials of a 72 year old Boston medical doctor who drowned last year in a Maine dinghy tip-over in the 48-degree, May, Maine ocean waves. Helicopters and boats go together like hotdogs and applesauce, don't ya know! Probably would be alive today had he used a kayak as kayaks are very stabil and can negotiate large waves. Not to worry, not too sure what I mean either?
Heck, he probably had good enough medical insurance coverage to fully pay for a $14,000 helicopter ambulance ride, but it did him no good for lack of wearing a pfd or a swimmers belt.

I used to work at Hanscom AFB. I would refuel the Boston Med-Flight helicopters. Sometimes being called in a 2 am to do an emergency flight.
That money, and I'm not like the others harping on you, are worth every penny. The maintenance of those two helicopters of theirs, training, payroll, hangar rent, office rent, meds, life saving equipment, insurance, etc., are not cheap. Not to mention the pyschological effects on the paramedics and nurses flying in those aircraft, after seeing injuries and death on a daily basis. Just something to think about when debating costs... BTW they did recently get a new Sikorsky (SR 76) the replace the aging Dolphine. Much quieter helo. ![]() |

The "family friend" was quite insistent; however, a Lake Wentworth resident wrote me that a crash did occur on Lake Wentworth. Quote:

![]() For a short period of time, waterbikes were manufactured and they look like a bike sort of with skis. They never became popular and are rarely seen. The sitdown watercraft has pretty much taken over the market except for the racing scene. Standups are still preferable for tricks and freestyle. Since I gave away my standup, I have only seen one other on the lake. Jetskier ![]() |

I don't have a picture but Circa 1992 I used to haul my stand up JetSki around in the back of my my Mustang GT. It got some funny looks on the highway!!
I still have it but just don't have time to use it. The JetSki that is. |

Jetskier...
I saw a red WetBike going thru the Weirs Channel this weekend! They are def cool to watch people ride when its choppy! Woodsy PS: The DHART guys saved my fathers life when he had the motorcyle accident! IMHO they are absolutely critical to saving lives in this area!
