Description: We were driving home from Wolfeboro (Aug 1977) watching this sunset develop. I actually missed the most colorful part of the sunset but still love this shot. The picture still hangs on the wall on Rattlesnake

A Tight Fit

Description: Squeezing the Coronado into the boathouse was a challenge during a NW blow! (Aug 1977) The boathouse opening was only a few inches wider than the boat itself...and given the Coronado's undersized rudder it was virtually impossible to steer at headway speed. The predominate NW wind would frequently catch the boat's freeboard and blow you towards the huge submerged rock beneath the right hand boathouse door. The only way to shoehorn the boat in was to come in "hot" and bang it into reverse. Every year my Grandfather would nail the previous year's license plate to the wall inside the boathouse and when we sold the place in 1984 we had every plate between the year 1919 and 1984 other than one of the WWII years when gasoline wasn't available for recreational use. I wish that I had taken the collection with me when we sold the place!

Description: Out of Wolfeboro in Aug 1977. 35 Years Ago my wife & I chartered a flight to take us around the lake. I took this shot that coincidentally includes the Rattlesnake property that we purchased last fall....what are the odds?
