First summer boating exclusively, on Winnipesaukee and my wife and I are thrilled to be here. The anchoring spots, the destinations and their array of foods, the places like Ragged I.
Since Labor Day we have enjoyed numerous outings fishing (caught a fat landlocked) and learning the lake with all of it's bays and hazards (avoided all of them, knock on wood).
The other day, a "real fisherman" out of Meredith Marina too, who always asks how I did trying to troll from my tritoon, invited me to go out with him tomorrow
for one of his final, fishing forays and of course I accepted!
Hospitality and unselfish, friendliness like that is rare in this day and age...hell, I even had a first cousin, years ago, that wouldn't share where he got his stringer of trout with me, and now a complete stranger offers his boat and his knowledge to me, a learning, fisherman...if that is what Lake Winnpesaukee folks are like, that, is where I want to be!
