Cool Trucks vs People...

Wolfeboro's main dock (we can't fit under the bridge to use the Back bay one) is fine if the area isn't busy. If it is, the people can be annoying walking in your way, offering free advice, etc.
1) We launch our 23-footer at the Libby ramp, but with the years, it's gotten really harrowing. You'd think the trucks would slow to a stop for a lady's upraised hand but don't count on it.

To avoid the stress of speeding pickups and logging trucks our best move has been to launch at daybreak.

2) You can count on Back Bay to have better bridge-clearance towards the end of the season.



As for Wolfeboro, I'll gladly take people over trucks!
