Where did these competing interests balance out ? Got me, perhaps some secret sources can tell us.   |
I remember the wake being bigger but than I was smaller. We used to try to get our skiing in before the morning run down Alton Bay. It seemed after the Mount came by the water stayed rough until much later in the day. Back in those days she made 2 trips every day. I think the morning run came by before 11:00AM
I miss the toot as she passes Sandy Point
