And, the reasons why? Probably, has something to do with the closing of Ames Farm in Gilford and that other controversial Winnipesaukee issue.
1) Rent an Ames Farm cottage—park your trailers—get reimbursed from friends for launching privileges.

2) With a July 4th holiday falling mid-week, it would be very tempting to have taken more than the usual full week of vacation—to about July 10th.

By then, we were hit with four consecutive days of very strong winds, when you "picked-up" on the lack of boaters.

3) Anyway, we've seen this before—in 2005—when gas prices became an issue—the topic...?
