You may find a Saturday morning ride on the Mount to Wolfeboro and back to the Weirs (
http://www.cruisenh.com/2006/daytime/index.html ) an enjoyable way to gain some perspective of the Lake, while staying warm, and letting someone else do the driving while you and your wife enjoy the views.
You may order your navigation map(s) of the Lake from this website (
http://www.bizer.com/ and
http://www.duncanpressinc.com/ ).This will allow you time during the Winter to become familiar with some names, routes, islands, and ports, while supporting this website financially.
The wife may enjoy a visit to the AnnaLee museum (
http://www.annalee.com/ ), which is just a short from the Inns.
Another tour boat adventure a short ride from the Inns would be the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center (
http://www.nhnature.org/golden.htm ). The Center also would be a nice way to spend some time (
http://www.nhnature.org/planning_your_visit.html and
http://www.nhnature.org/calendar_of_events.htm ).
This will afford you the opportunity to explore and enjoy the area in a relaxing manner. Don't forget to bring along your map(s) to gain perspective, while enjoying your boat tours.
