Annual Wolfeboro Town Docks Water Cleanup
On Sunday, September 21, 2008, Dive Winnipesaukee sponsored a cleanup of the waters around the Wolfeboro Town Docks. Four local divers and several shore helpers participated. Enough trash to fill several large plastic bags and a 12 foot long 3 inch diameter pipe were extracted from the bottom. Also brought up were 8 cell phones, a set of boat keys, several pair of Oakley sunglasses and 3 shopping carts belonging to Hunter's IGA. One man, hearing of the cell phones, came down to the docks and retrieved his cell phone from the pile. He had lost it 2-3 days earlier. While the cell phone was unlikely to work, he said he was going to try and salvage the memory card that contained his saved phone numbers. Thanks to the Town Of Wolfeboro for taking the trash load to the dump.
As a Thank You to the divers, following the cleanup, Dive Winnipesaukee treated them to a boat dive around the Ship/Moose Island area. The cleanup took about 2.5 hours and all had a good time. We look forward to doing it again next year.

2009 Annual Wolfeboro Town Docks Cleanup
We did it again. On Sunday, October 4th, 6 divers and several shore helpers spent about 2.5 hours cleaning up the waters around the Wolfeboro town docks and the channel leading into Back Bay. In addition to the plethora of bottles and cans, we found 3 cell phones, a skateboard, a tire, a DANGER Thin Ice sign, a ballcap, a child's tee-shirt, a watch, a quarter and 5 pennies, an old inkwell, one antique bottle and a shiny, rectangular serving tray top that must have fallen from the Mt Washington or, more likely, the Winnipesaukee Belle.
One of the hi-lights of the dive for me was swimming up the left side of the channel towards Back Bay and then crossing into the current coming out of Back Bay and riding it back into the lake, looking for treasure as I went. We all had a good time. Thanks to all the divers and shore help and to Dive Winnipesaukee for providing air tanks and diver safety flags for the divers.

clean up
Thank you to all the volunteers for the clean up!!
One thing that has been really bothering me for the past few years is the fact that most of the trash I see at dockside is coming from the restaurant (dockside). The trash is always spilling over onto the streets from the can by the restaurant (of course people are too lazy to walk to the other end of the docks and use those trash cans) and onto the docks and into the water, including the take out Styrofoam containers. I think dockside should be responsible for supplying trash cans and for the trash removal. The guy that routinely picks up the trash from the cans at dockside doesnt seem to come around enough to keep up with the trash, especially on the weekends. Any thoughts? |

KRHS Leos Help Dive Winnipesaukee Clean Up Wolfeboro Docks
Saturday, October 2, 2010, KRHS (Kingswood Regional High School) Leos assisted divers from Dive Winnipesaukee in cleaning up the Wolfeboro waterfront dock area. For two hours, six divers combed the waters of Wolfeboro Town Docks collecting debris and jetsam from the bottom. Braving a sunny, but cold and windy day, items that have been dropped or thrown in to Wolfeboro Bay were collected in mesh bags by the divers and handed up to the Leo teens on the docks for disposal. Among the items included were beer bottle and soda cans, several cell phones, many shotgun shells, sunglasses, a flashlight and even an erring.
Leos, (shown L to R) are Tristan Wilson, Tyler Canney, Kelsey Mailett, Haleigh Canney and Jordan Canney. Kneeling Lion Advisors, Donna Goodgame and Nicole Wilson. Divers, back row (R to L) are Kevin Fernandez, Seth Arcieri, Patrick Laase, Brad Swain, Todd Boothroyd and Allen Hall. Not pictured are diver Don Grout and Dive Winnipesaukee owner Tom Wachsmuth. Picture credit - Ron Sundquist, Lions Advisor. The KRHS Leos are a Lions supported club for teens.

Wolfeboro Town Docks Cleanup 2013
Dive Winnipesaukee and volunteer divers were at it again on Saturday, 10/19/13. There were 6 divers and 2 shore personnel.
It was another BIG haul. Six cell phones, about 2 dozen pair of glasses and sunglasses, a shopping cart from Hunter's, towels, lots of bottles and cans, a few fishing lures, 3 bow cover support rods, a nice braided dock rope, a US quarter and other miscellaneous stuff. A total of 3 large trash bags full. Surface water temperature was about 60 degrees F, very warm for this time of year. Following the cleanup dive, volunteer divers were treated to a complimentary dive on a newly discovered old wooden steamer wreck near Keniston Island. Water temperature at 38 feet was 59 degrees; balmy! Dive Winnipesaukee wishes to thank the following volunteers: From left to right in the first picture: Lexi Beaulieu - Shore volunteer Dave Beaulieu - Diver Dan Marquis - Diver Jody Couture - Diver Stephen Deshaies - Diver Joe Sears - Diver Paul Smith - Diver

Reading Glasses
You didnt happen to find a pair of yellow frame reading glaases right off the end of the middle pier on the left side looking from the water. Just lost them last week when I was untieing my stern line?
Thanks. |

Wolfeboro Town Docks Cleanup - October 4, 2015
The day started out cold, 37 degrees, but ended up gorgeous. The surface water temperature was 63 degrees. We had a record 9 divers and 7 shore support personnel. The mission was to cleanup the waters around the town docks. Many pair of sunglasses were found, plenty of cans & bottles, towels, a tire, a dive knife and a Funspot token. But...not one cell phone. Just prior to the dive, we were informed that a pair of expensive prescription glasses had been recently lost by a worker on the Winnipesaukee Belle while it was docking. I'm pleased to say that they were found and returned to the owner. Following the cleanup, divers were treated to a complimentary wreck dive by Dive Winnipesaukee.
Dive Winnipesaukee would like to thank the following volunteers: In the picture from L to R are: Standing: Billie Pingree (shore), Lexi Beaulieu (shore), Hayden Beaulieu (diver), Drew Luby (diver), Jeff Luby (diver), Jeff Boggs (diver), Steve Deshaies (diver), Roger Deshaies (shore), Linda Jones (shore) & Adam Dupuis (diver). Kneeing: Dave Beaulieu (diver) Resting: Jody Couture (diver) Missing from the picture are: Monica Mosca (diver), Mike Mosca (shore), Tom Wachsmuth (shore) & Brad Swain (shore).
