Hmmm. So, she'll drop me off, find a space, set two anchors and swim back? Then I have one for the road, while she goes out to pull in the anchors and come back to pick me up? I vote for Rich's shuttle.

Default WMUR and Dive at the Weirs

Just before 6:00 pm tonight, WMUR showed a picture of Weirs Bay. Great weather on the lake. Looked like a picture of the Dive in the foreground, only the roof/canvas cover visible.
Can anybody confirm?

this may be what you saw. WMUR uses the Weirscam for weather webcam views. Part of the Winnipisaukee Pier building.

I guess I was just brought up the "old fashioned" way... In my world, (where men still exist), the MAN makes the sacrifice for the woman. No need to be so sensitive, pajama boy.
