I predict that friends and relatives are going to start being very nice to you. They might even drop hints about when they will be free this summer.

The good news is that when you live on an island most people can't "drop in".

They might drop hints about being free this Summer; but at $14,000 per week, the island will not be free, by any stretch of the imagination.

Congratulations on your purchase. That looks like a wonderful property. I only wish I could be so lucky!

Glad your site mentions the good diving around the island. Actually, there are good sites on both the "bay" and Broads sides. On the Broads side, there is a nice rock wall -- lots of fish and some great geology. On the bay side, it's a little less interesting topography, but tons of fish (and far less boat traffic). Dive Winnipesaukee anchors there occasionally.

Small world.

Just last summer, we were anchored off Parker with DWC and the intrepid Captain Scott gave us a little Parker history and said that the place was still empty. Alas, I'd left my checkbook on shore...

My dad told me about some guy back in the 50s who ran his speed boat aground on the Broads side of the island. Apparently he was a little toasted, and it was night, etc.

I believe my first Winnipesaukee dive was on the Broads side of Parker -- where there's the big rock wall. It was one of DWC's Friday night charters. Good fun.

...to point people interested in the Lakes Region to rental properties? I don't want to rain on anybody's parade here, but the exposure of the forum vs the classifieds would be desirable. If so I,and likely many others with property to rent, would like to do the same..

Maybe there's a need for a "Marketplace" section...with sub-sections for rentals, boats for sale, slips for lease, etc. Ask Don. A few of the dive forums I frequent have them, and people sell/trade everything from new & used gear to trips to rentals and live-aboard trips. It keeps the "commerce" threads out of the general discussion and topical threads.
