My wife and I just got back from a wonderful anniversary getaway. We celebrated our 10th at the Inn at Smith Cove. We truly enjoyed ourselves. We got to the lake Friday and took advantage of some late season warmth on the water. We ventured to Lago for dinner, then Church Landing for desert. Saturday was also a nice day to be on the lake. We visited Wolfeboro, (by boat) and the Strawberry Patch for breakfast . Next it was off to see a client of mine in Gunstock Acres, followed by lunch at Patrick's. We did a little more cruising on the lake late Sat. afternoon before heading to the Woodshed for a fantastic dinner. We slept in on Sunday (something unheard of for parents of two boys both under 5 :D ). Lastly it was the final ride of the season from Smith Cove to West Alton, where we pulled the boat out and brought it to be winterized :( . I can't complain too much though. I was truly fortunate to have such a great season this year with my wife, children, family and friends. Oh, and before I forget..... a HUGE thanks to my parents for watching our boys so this past weekend would be possible.

Congrats on your anniversary as well, and I know the feeling about the boat. After a nice round of golf today with the wife and another couple, it was down to West Alton to clean out the boat in preparation for them to pull it out this week and winterize. :( :( Seven more months and the boat will be back in the water. :)

Upthesaukee-Thanks!
We have probably crossed paths at some point if you keep your boat at WAM. We use the valet service there. Maybe we'll get the chance to meet next year.

It was clearly a clean out day at WAM. That is what I did as well. Last ride and clean the boat out. Have a good winter.

Probably have waved once or twice over the summer. We are in Slip 36B, once area the valet side of the gas docks, the boat is a teal and white 19 ft Sunbird bowrider with an Merc Optimax on the back. Upthesaukee is on the side of the boat in White.. Certainly give a hollar if you see us, and many happy returns to you and your family once again. :)

and Bill Hurley, we may well be "neighbors" there as well. You have a good winter and see you in the spring . Ps, we used to live on Andover Rd in Billerica, across from Fox hill cemetary. Left there in 1988.

See Y'all.

I will definitely give a shout if I see you. We are a red and white Rinker 232 Captiva, Liberty Edition, with the name "Room 4 More" on the stern. Give us a shout if you see us first :)
Enjoy the "off season".

upthesaukee and Rinkerfam, We were in 91A. It is a white with blue Chaparral SSI235 with the name "Ruff Water" on the back. Next year we will be on Skid Row somewhere between 51 and 55. They havn't pinned it down yet.

upthesaukee, It is funny. We lived on Pondover when we first got married. Now we are over by the Shawsheen Tech

Have a good winter, and maybe we will see you at the meltn the ice party
