Times have changed. The large bus tours with 55 to 60 seniors aboard did not happen last year. They may not happen this year either.

I remember in the 70's and 80's seeing the Mount go by. The passengers were stacked two deep at the rail and the boat looked crowded. The last few years the small amount of passengers has made the boat look almost empty. The cash flow has to have dropped significantly.

Heard the same “rumor” yesterday from a well informed local on the Mount maintenance. Was curious why it was still in CH. On a side note launched a JetSki yesterday from CH and there are a ton of loose boards from a broken dock or structure floating in the water that look like they are about to separate and float away. Not sure who to contact about that before they make their way in to CH bay?

The story says the maintenance to the Mount is being done and it needs new propellers. They have to haul it for the Prop installation and hope to get it into service this summer.

That story also ends by noting the Doris E will be prepared after the Winni Spirit and Mount Washington work are complete.
Sounds like addition of the Spirit brings the operating cruise fleet to two, at least for the early part of the season.

I hope somebody post pix, better yet, video, of the propeller replacement
