Have fun!

Say what???

Thank you all for your advice and help!

As far as choppy water goes, we've been doing our boat trips in Boston Harbor. So a bit used to rough rides to say the least. You get everything from huge commuter boats to tiny sailboats.

See you all up there the end of July!

I think he means if the wind kicks up the wind direction usually makes it rougher down towards the Wolfeboro side of the lake then the Center Harbor side.... But this is just the most common.. I have been on the back side of Welch getting hammered when the Broads were fine.. It all depends on the day. Always plan for the worst and check your weather reports (especially wind and T-storms) before departing.

The observation is generally probably correct and the advice reasonable, it just caught me off guard as the thread was about looking for a place to park a trailer.

Wasn't sure if I missed something like a post that was deleted or maybe I was just not tracking (its been a crazy week at work and I'm spent,,,)

Matter of fact its been so busy for the last few months I just got the cover of boat (the one that runs,,, I hope,,,)

Oooopppsss, falling off subject,,,

Hope you have a GREAT time Cillovely! If you have time,try the sandbar at Lakeport, my kids LOVE it there!
