Too bad we didn't still have some kind of boat parade on the lake. Maybe we should start one? The Winni.com boat parade??

....no one would ever be able to agree on the speed at which the parade should proceed.

The best boat parade I ever remember was organized by THE EAGLE, right after 9/11. If I recall correctly, it started in Braun Bay and went up toward Center Harbor. There were dozens of boats, all going at plane speeds. It was a fantastic sight and was fun to be part of.

Silver Lake in Lochmere has a fantastic July 4 parade around the lake. It also remind me of the parades I have seen on Big Island Pond in the Derry area when Alan Shepard the astronaut will make an appearance.

I heard Great Bay in Portsmouth has a parade as well as Northwood Lake in Northwood.

Why can't we get one together on the Big Lake?

I think that would be fun to have a parade. I think the 4th of July might not be such a good day though, since there is so much other boat traffic and also, so many people have so many things planned. But we could celebrate some other way. How about a We love Winni parade?

My wife and I went to Shibley's on the Pier today for lunch,again. Not very busy. Only 3 other parties. I suspect they will be packed tomorrow. While we were watching, a snowmobile came steaming down the ramp and skimmed over the 8 to 10 feet of water at the bottom of the ramp onto the snow covered ice. There were 2 other snowmobiles out on the ice. Plenty of open water around the Mount Washington Dock and the swimming dock for the April Fools Day fishermen.
