Lake kindness - thank you Susan McCarthy!

I'm delighted to share my fabulous lake emergency/kindness story with you all!

Friday, Maiden Cove and her mate ventured off from the Weirs on the Jet Ski for a wonderful lunch in Alton and a jaunt to Wolfeboro.

As you all know, a pretty nasty storm rolled across the lake in the afternoon and we got caught in it right off Rattlesnake Island

. The rain was blowing to the east so we sought shelter behind one of those huge blow up play things with the trampoline and a slide... As I was pulling up praying to find enough shelter behind it, a woman came out and waved us in. I yelled out to ask if I could park at her dock and wait out the storm. She did us one better than that and insisted we come inside out of the weather.

She gave us towels and a mimosa to calm the nerves a bit and we waited with her and her friends for about a half hour or so. She introduced herself as Susan and as we were leaving we noticed we were at McCarthy's Landing....

Hence a HUGE thank you for your kindness, hospitality and warmth. We would have been in a heck of a spot without you!
