Congratulations on a thousand posts since the start of this thread!!!! And always entertaining.No need to congratulate me... I'm just living my life and posting things along the way. Never anything political or controversial in here, and I think most people seem to enjoy something that doesn't go off the rails like a lot of posts do. I mean, where else can you go to see cats on boats, a second Sally's Gut location, or rental Renaults straightening out Glendale dock posts...not to mention lizards being transported off the island? It's all in fun, just the way it should be! Some of the funniest things in this thread have been posted by others who chime in, and I really enjoy that as well!!!

Maybe it's a different kind of senile and I posted on another thread... was a comment about a rather overweight topless protester at Weirs Beach! ;-)

[Descant]

I remember that thread. In this case however, I thought you might be referring to the passage between Mark and Mink. Maybe we should have a naming contest? One of the few places on Winnipesaukee where you go between the two red top buoys.

Good question....been here for years and I have no idea if it has an official name. I have a suggestion... Charlotte, our beloved pit bull, loved everyone and would frequently go off on her own to visit many of the islanders. They loved her visits and looked forward to her showing up. I would get texts sometimes from folks asking why she hadn't been around to visit. 2 years ago, she got into some mouse / rat poison that somebody must have used while winterizing. The emergency vet was optimistic that we had caught it in time, but she passed away before the antidote could take effect. My vote for the new name is Charlotte's Gut... she sure spent a lot of time down there ! :-)

[Descant]

We have Sally's Gut, Becky's Garden. I'd go for Charlotte's Passage, so each name is unique.

[steve-on-mark]

Nothing less than amazing this morning!

How about "Flo's Folly", "Rick's Reef", or "Erin's Revenge"? When I was a kid, my great uncle had a camp on Mark just opposite the buoy. We'd fish off the dock in the channel and watch one Capt. Bonehead after another ground themselves on the wrong side of the buoy. Granted it's probably been 25-30 years since I've been there. Have people coming through there gotten any smarter?

it always seems to be different...some mornings I'm in the clear but I look over toward Governors and it's all fogged in. Other times the fog is all to the east or north.... yesterday it was all in Gilford!

You know there is never enough ice formed overnight to keep a motorboat trapped, somewhere. Most any motorboat can easily motor through one or two inches of ice at a slow speed like 5-mph and probably even up on plane at 25-mph. The vee hull zips through the ice like a knife and easily breaks it through when there is just one inch ice, no problem.

Cutting through the ice like that is a piece of cake.

I, and a friend, also from Welch, stayed overnight once after Christmas. The next morning, Glendale was frozen over. A few turns around the bay created enough waves to break up the ice. This was maybe 1964, so no cell phones, radios, CB, etc. Foolish by today's standards.

This year really flew by, didn't it! It was a tough season for boat issues for us. Our 20 year old pontoon decided to identify as a 3 cylinder midway through the summer. I called Kyle Cosselman ( he's been servicing the boats for years ) who's now with Beacon Marine. He grabbed the boat at Glendale and brought it to the shop. They told me in addition to needing a re-power, it also has some structural issues . After weeks of mulling it over, I decided to cut my losses and sell it. Kyle and Beacon couldn't have been kinder or more patient with me...they were great and I'll recommend them all day!
Our older Chaparal has been a nightmare for years with the way it's been running. Brought it to two different marinas, spent a lot of money, and was told many different things... it's as good as it's gonna be, it's old...sell it, etc. We actually started looking at new boats to replace it! A friend recommended we try Dockside Doctor, so I called and dropped the boat. Erich was very thorough and persistent and uncovered two main problems...2 of the injectors were clogged, and the ignition distributor was installed a tooth off ( stemming from the engine being replaced 7 years ago... reason distributor caps kept failing rapidly). I picked it up on completion, and it now runs perfectly, and was charged less than the other places who were basically throwing repair darts at it!
I can't thank these two businesses enough and highly recommend them both!

That is the one down side of owning a season place... even more so if it is on and island and your aren't able to check on it through the winter so easily. Over the years, my family has been fairly fortunately... Most of the damage is self inflected....

- not draining the water completely (burst pipes are always fun)
- forgetting something in the fridge (let me tell you milk doesn't age well) (don't ask)
- finding a creature or two that found its way inside because they can......

And those are the things you can prevent mostly.....

Now on the other had, you have the damage sheets of ice can do...... shifting permanent docks, braking up rip rap used to prevent erosion.... moving huge cement blocks used to anchor articulating docks....

Yep the first trip can bring many surprises.... This year I get to hear all about it over the phone, with the dreaded, "what do I do to fix it question"........

We've been on Welch since 1950--some significant dock damage in 1979-80 when the ice bent some 10" I Beams up at a 45 degree angle. (North side) Two years ago a tree fell on the tool shed (south side). That's about it. An occasional split pipe is to be expected, but I never figured out how a vertical pipe in the shower split. It should have self drained. A good opportunity to teach my daughter some basic plumbing skills. It's all part of the adventure. And it's all easier than Florida hurricanes.

I will keep the C-Nile safe and sound while you are away. Just leave the keys and a stash of boxed wine so I can cruise in style :cheers:
This is actually how small the C-Nile looks when it's alongside the MB Tractor boat! :-)

you know Dan, boxed wine is safe on the boat and it's actually pretty good if you get the right vintage. The most recent box's vintage.... last Tuesday.
