2010 Cruises on The Mount

Thank you very much Rattlesnake Gal

For posting all our theme cruises on Winnipesaukee Forum. I love the graphics!

Mother's Day Champagne Brunch Cruise

The 1:30 pm Mother's Day cruise was sold out! There is great feedback on Facebook saying that the food was delicious and entrainment was fun. Many of the passengers got to enjoy a tour of the engine room.

Congratulations to Mount Washington Cruises for a successful start to the 2010 season!

Full Moon Cruise

We just got in from the Full Moon Cruise on the M/S Mount Washington. What an absolutely perfect night out on the lake. We couldn't have picked a prettier night. The sunset was beautiful. The full moon was spectacular. What an asset the Mount is to our area.

I heard the bells!

So glad that you had a great time Rag Top Daze! You are right, the Mount truly is an asset to NH and the Lakes Region.

If you don't already have one, I think you would be a great candidate for a season pass! :D

We love it when the Mount comes cruising by our place! If I'm there, I will always go to the dock and wave. With the new engines being so quiet, she keeps sneaking up on me, so occasionally I miss her! :laugh: We flash the lights at night too.

Looking forward to another cruise or two or three - there are still so many to choose from! :D

Here is a good video of The Mount departing from Weirs Beach. Posted by lakewinnipesaukee (That's not me - I'm RattlesnakeGal ;) )

So funny you should mention this RSG. In the spring, we did in fact purchase a season pass...and 3 weeks later I decided it would be a fun place to work for the summer. Guess what one of the employee perks is...you guessed it! Riding on the ships! :emb: I am having fun with the part time job. Riding the ships is right up there with driving my RagTop!! :cool:

I hope you all get a chance to enjoy a ride in the Mount, the Sophie C and the Doris E this summer

Hey Rag Top Daze...

I understand how everyone got so excited about the new Mount's engine conversion + -. Being the gearhead that I am, as soon as I found out that they had chosen CatMopiller's to replace the Enterprise engines, I locked on. Now, Let me splain. The M/S Mount Washington has run in my family veins since years, along with Lake Winnipesaukee herself. Please understand that to move on from where you were sometimes means change...
However, we still flow, and are very much so here.
I am starting to cry now, so I will leave you all with this message...

Live Life to the fullest Where ever you happen to be and enjoy every moment of.

Please don't cry trfour! ;) My meaning was that I occasionally miss her physically coming by.

I must admit that occasionally I do miss the distinctive rattle of her old power plants, but I am on board with the new and improved Cats.

I simply love The Mount and her rich history! :D
