Help With Ice Out
Here's a drone video made a couple years ago by a young friend of mine on Welch Island. I am hoping this video will get your heart pumping and warm everyone's heart enough to help with a quicker ice out!! Put your youtube settings on the highest definition for the best enjoyment!! ;)
Enjoy! Dan https://youtu.be/zsfFLs7n4DQ |

Nice video.
It raises a questionL are less people riding the Mount than they did 49\0 or 50 years ago? To my casual eye the number of passengers visible on the deck in the past few decades seems to have decreased substantially, perhaps to the point of unprofitability. |

That may be one of the reasons they purchased the Spirit, to entertain smaller groups at a lower operating cost. There may be another smaller boat purchase for them in the works as well. That may be be confirmed in the next 60 days. |

I thought the same but last summer I saw it quite a few times with a lot of people so hoping they were doing better. |
Another thought...
Another thought: there are a lot more boats on the lake these days and not as many folks going out for a day on the lake on a commercial vessel. Now they go out for the day on their own boat.
Weekends may be busier but probably not to the extent of say 10 yrs ago. Dave |
Also consider many bus tours and such were cancelled these past few years. Thinking they will return this season. Will be a barn burner summer. 100th Anniversary of bike week and c19 restrictions removed

Mount crowds
If you're comparing to 50 years ago, a lot has changed. She's 30 feet longer with a third deck and the below decks Steamboat lounge that didn't exist years ago, so crowds may be more spread out. More food/drink choices and air conditioning may keep passengers inside more, and more trip options like routine evening cruises spread the crowds out. And yes, more people have their own boats and there are more places to rent boats. At the Weirs alone, no more Miss Winnipesaukee(s), Uncle Sam, Foxy boats, etc.

It’s a shame the lounge below the main deck interior staircase isn’t accessible on regular cruises. I think remember going down there in the 80s. ??

I apologize to the OP for being a participant in getting off course here. We now resume our regular programming.

I don’t think you veered. The Mount and ice out are definitely connected. [emoji2]

If the prevailing winds are from NW, is Wolfeboro most often the last port to be clear? Does anybody track that?
