We went out on Sat in Alton Bay. Very windy and coming right down the bay. A lot of boats out there, many towing tubers. Far more than I would have thought. Got out beyond Little Mark and were going to go to West Alton to gas up, and then hang at the Sand bar, but didn't need gas that badly, and it would have been rough at the sand bar, so we ended up just cruising the bay area before heading to the public docks for supper and the concert. Lots of traffic in and out of the end of the bay.

Sunday, we went out in the afternoon, a little choppy and definitely boat rough, and ended up crossing the broads then down into Melvin bay, Moultonborough bay and up by Ambrose Cove. Lots of traffic all over. I can see where someone might have trouble finding a quiet place to slow cruise or tube/water ski.

We have said all summer that it seems like the boat traffic is down somewhat, but it seems that people are not venturing out in choppier, windy weather as much, perhaps trying to make their time on the lake more of a quality time. Especially true for those who can't just jump out on the lake anytime they want, like those of us who live up here and are retired (not rubbing it in...just a nice situation to be in).
