mpjones58, glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum. I know you will get lots of great advice from all the members of the forum. I do hope that you have some wonderful weather like we have had the past week and get a lot of lake time in the boat.

Meredith or Wolfeboro would be good ports to travel to for breakfast. Wolfeboro would be less challenging to navigate and more interesting to wander around after you eat. Both have plenty of dock space. All the town dock areas around the lake have interesting things to do.

Braun Bay is a great place to anchor and enjoy sandbar activities, especially during the week.

For an interesting trip, go to Lee's Mill and Green's Basin by boat. The navigation is a little challenging, but it's a beautiful trip that can kill a few hours. Tie up at Lee's Mill docks (no town there, just a ramp) and use the porta-potti if desperate.

Go through Sally's Gut and the Hole in the wall.

Snorkel the wreck of the Belknap.

Naswa is great fun.

Stop at a marina and pick up a copy of Boater's Secrets. Best way to know the lake.

Make sure you know NH's unique laws, on weekends drive defensively.

Most important of all: Have Fun!
