First Generation
We first came to Lake Winnipesaukee in the summer of 1963 on the recommendation of our landlord. Our 20' Chris-Craft Sea Skiff, which we purchased in Louisville, Kentucky, was launched on July 23rd during a near total solar eclipse. We rented a covered slip at Fay's Boat Yard, and have been there since then. We bought our place on East Bear Island in October, 1967 and enjoyed our first full season at ice-out beginning in April of 1968.
We love spending as much time as we can at our wonderful location, sharing it with family and friends. As mentioned in previous posts of this fine forum [Thanks, Don], island living is not for every one, but, to us, is well worth the efforts associated with it. The Lake has many "moods" and must be respected.
Waves can build up over three feet in a few minutes. One learns to adjust to these situations.
Now, second, third, and fourth generations are able to enjoy this treasured location, and beautiful Lake. We are so fortunate!!! 🐻
