Hello Everyone-
This is my very first post to this forum. I started checking out this site recently on the advise of my brother who has a condo near Winnipesaukee and spends every spare minute of his free time on the lake.
I’m writing from about 2,000 miles away where my husband & I currently reside on the French island of St. Bart’s in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean. We are live in caretakers/ managers of a villa here on the island. Although this is paradise and we love it here, we really miss our family/ friends & living in the states enough to make us want to move back north in May (once the peak season here is over).
I was born & raised in NH. We own a condo near Waterville Valley, so we are looking to relocate back to the area and are interested in taking similar positions at a “camp” on Winnipesaukee in the summers. I wonder if any of you have any suggestions or know anyone who has a high end house on the lake who would need someone to help them look after it either when they are not there or helping out when they are there starting next spring or early summer.
As a second option, we are also interested in getting back into boating for work. We both are USCG licensed 100T Captains and wonder how much need there is for experienced captains for hire on the lake.
I thought about placing an ad, but that seems so impersonal at the moment and spring being 8 months away.. l'd like to get to know more about things first. This seems like the perfect forum to get an idea of what is available during season, as well as get any suggestions, leads or comments from those of you who love and know the area. I would REALLY appreciate any kind feedback from anyone… other than those who desire to call us crazy for wanting to move back to NH from the Caribbean. (I noticed merrymeeting mentioned the water temp has dipped to below 70 degrees.:eek: Will I offend anyone if I tell you the ocean temp here is still in the mid to upper 80’s?)
We will be sad to leave here for sure, but are excited to start a new adventure back home in the Lakes Region.
From what I have seen so far, this is a great forum with a wonderful community atmosphere. I Look forward to what you guys have to say.
And have a great Holiday weekend!
Cheers:cheers:
