Lots of chopper traffic
Hi Gang,
We were anchored off of Timber Island facing Governors and there was a helicopter running a search pattern all afternoon on Sunday. Does anyone have any input as to what they were looking for? We also noted more Marine Patrol boats crossing the NE side of Governors all day too. Thanks in advance, The Breeze Wave 'cuz I'll be Wavin' Back |

According to the NY Post, Presidential candidate John Edwards was in Moultonborough for vacation this past week or so. Maybe he was taking an ariel tour?

The president of France is supposed to arrive-rumor has it today. However, it doesn't seem like there would be helicopters Sunday by Gov. Island for a Wolfeboro visit today. ????

The crews and security teams could be familiarising themelves with the area and running response drills.
'Nuff said? |

It makes sense
On Sunday, a chopper made several landings at the old airstrip in Wolfeboro. It was a large chopper (not what I normally see flying around the lake) I was in Winter harbor and saw it land twice. They could have been scouting around ahead of the French President's visiit.
I just thought is was someone really rich looking to build the next McMansion up on the old strip. |

Goodfellas ?
I was feeling kind of like Henry Hill in "Good Fellas" All those Feds spying on us.....Just what we need a US Politician AND a French Politician at the Lake at the same time! Thanks for the warning.
All the best, The Breeze Wave 'cuz I'll be waving back |

I see a strong case for President Sarkozy's visit and security. The Boston Globe probably shouldn't have publicized the visit by Sarcozy.

We rode by in the boat yesterday. They had the big US Coast Guard ship and a little aluminum boat with a pole sticking up in the middle (radar, ?) We didn't get close enought to see, didn't think it would be a good idea. Also another MP boat was coming in.

You know, I don't think it is really much of a problem for most of us living here. We pretty much leave these people alone. I heard he went out to dinner (rumor only) in Wolfeboro the other night and I don't think there was much fanfare. I think most people are curious and look from a distance, but that's it.
