Steam boats at Lee's Mills

This is a time when I wish I was more articulate and could accurately describe the gathering of the steam boats at Lee's Mills. Each of these basically hand-crafted vessels represents thousands of hours of labor, and, I'm sure, many dollars. The families involved are all so friendly and sociable, and just want to talk about their steamboats, and show off their efforts to the public. It just looks like a fun event, tucked away in Lee's Mills, with little or no publicity. The weather worked out well for them, and several times they went out on parade. I even saw three of them tied up at theTown docks in Wolfeboro - now that's a long way from Lee's Mills by steamboat.

My granddaughter and I spent a wonderful few hours looking at each boat, all different, and, unfortunately due to time considerations, had to pass up on several offers to take a ride.

This is a great gathering, and I thank all of them for coming to Lee's Mills, and I look forward to seeing them again next season.
