As a kid, NOTHING beat the the smell of the marine gas and 2-cycle oil at Downings!
Today, a weekday trip from Lakeport to Alton is just perfect. |

Smell of diesel when the Mount went by with the old engines. And a bit more rumble, so we could hear her around the point before we could see her.

Sept 27, 2020: At 65-degree water temp, the big lake is still swim-able this late in September what with the low water level and drought-New Hampshire.

I smile thinking of almost 58 yrs at the Lake. My hubby and kids being introduced to it and vacationing here! And of course to all of the Forum posters who make it so enjoyable to reminisce.

Catching my son in that perfect mid-air moment when he jumps off the back of the boat. Sun is setting, Meredith looks like a postcard. And the only thing between it and me is a kid suspended - in pure joy.

Just realized what a great, positive, uplifting thread this is, in a year of seemingly constant terrible news.
If you read each post, it reinforces how important the "little things" really are......They're not little at all, they're huge, they matter and they're important!

Launching the boat, headed to Cow. Put the boat in forward and stress melts. That's just the beginning.
