Maybe you will be visiting your daughter in a warm place when she goes to college. Our went to college in Florida and then he never left. I love visiting him in late October and then again in February/ March.

T-3 days and counting till we are on the boat for the first time this year. Going to get her all set, and stay a single night only. But...at least we will consider it being back "home".

Convertible Girl · 04-27-2013, 06:02 PM

We go up every weekend more during the summer months. I still get excited every Friday when I know I am heading up to Winni

robbsracingengines · 04-28-2013, 07:32 AM

62 days until our 2 weeks at LIBC.

fpartri497 · 04-28-2013, 07:47 AM

I live on my boat five days a week until November 1st.

Irish Choppers · 04-28-2013, 04:38 PM

Try to get here every free weekend and as many summer days as possible. Sitting on the balcony right now watching a seaplane taxiing from Lago!

WakeboardMom · 04-28-2013, 05:44 PM

We are so happy and thankful to be there almost every weekend year 'round....with longer stays during the summer.

We are visiting our son's family in MD this weekend. I'm looking forward to finally enjoying reading my book on the dock next weekend and perhaps a cocktail watching the sunset.

It's been a lovely, quiet winter, and now we can't wait for the house to be full of family and friends on those warm summer weekends!

Merrymeeting · 04-28-2013, 08:36 PM

Zero... a lifelong dream....

Started coming to the lakes region when I was a newborn. Always dreamed of being here full time. Now I am.

Life is good!

codeman671 · 04-28-2013, 08:56 PM

My number is 75. Oh wait, that's my Sleep Number

For 1st boat launch it was about 14 days ago, but we aren't able to stay on the island for about 2 more weeks. Too many weekend commitments.

Went for a ride on the new pontoon yesterday. Got to see Ishoot308 and Hailey the pup at Glendale.

AC2717 · 04-29-2013, 08:29 AM

i was there this past Saturday, my number is now t-minus to memorial day weekend, boat launch time

KWilliams · 04-30-2013, 09:25 AM

My wife and I are from central Pennsylvania and a friend of ours turned us on to the Lake 21 years ago. We haven't missed a year yet. The kids are now grown but Beth and I have made it a June tradition to stay at Colonial Pines Resort in Center Harbor. I've been fortunate to travel all over our country and the "lake" is our favorite spot ... hands down.

We are lucky as well, spending most of our free time at the lake. We grew up with just the summer weekends and a week here or there. Most of our time as kids living aboard dads Crusier in Gilford Marina (MVYC now).

Fishing boat was in 4-17 (salmon and lakers have been hitting nicely) Pontoon will be in this weekend.

Ditto for us...from ice-out until Thanksgiving weekend.

LIforrelaxin · 04-30-2013, 03:45 PM

I have many numbers to think about....

To open the camp well that is -12

Call to the Marina for boat prep was -8

The boat to be waiting for me at the dock is at 3

Me arriving with the boat at the dock and taking a shake down cruise is 3.5

Me spending the day lost on the lake is 4.0.....

Planing a big opening day cruise should the weather be right.... out under the LI bridge, over towards Center Harbor, then down past Shep Browns, snaking over and under the GI bridge, past Welch, over behind sleepers, and around Rattlesnake, heading back through Barbers pole, and heading back up towards Moultonboro bay before heading back down by Pistol etc.....

Anyways enough day dreaming back to work

nhboat61 · 04-30-2013, 06:22 PM

Been coming up every-other weekend or so since Thanksgiving.... but put the fishing boat on 4/20.

I was in the water 4/22 Ouch it was cold.

Swifty going in on 5/11

SOOOoooooooo 11 days

So, if we can just get these next 810 days of school over with...we can make it full time !

winnisummergal · 05-24-2013, 11:59 AM

55 days!

Can't get here soon enough!

boat_guy64 · 05-24-2013, 12:36 PM

2.5 hours but this time of year my number never exceeds 5 days.

Bear247 · 05-24-2013, 12:51 PM

Very excited to say today is finally the day for my first trip back to the island this year..

upthesaukee · 05-24-2013, 02:29 PM

My number: Minus 6,205 days, +/- a few...been living here since May 1, 1996 and loving it!!!!

To those who don't live here, hurry back, welcome back, and enjoy your time here.

Flylady · 05-24-2013, 06:27 PM

Arrived this morning and even though the weather will not be the greatest, the smell of the trees, the lake water and the fresh mountain air reminded me why I still year after year can't wait to get here!

ghfromaltonbay · 05-25-2013, 04:15 PM

Arrived on Thursday to start off the 2013 season. Although it's cold and dreary it's better than being in NJ (which is having this same lousy weather).

no-engine · 05-25-2013, 05:45 PM

Please, will all update their location. When one says "up there from here", readers have no clue. If a writer's primary home is Long Island, NY, please say so. The context of comments is missing with no location.

Thanks!

Warren T · 06-05-2013, 08:35 AM

Twenty Four... We arrive June 29th to Meredeth Bay. Love Winni. Hope the fishing is good.

8gv · 06-05-2013, 03:26 PM

My number is about 26 months. That's how long I must wait to get my youngest off to college, my CT house sold and move to the area full time. The semi frequent visits I make until then keep me focused.

LadyJane · 06-05-2013, 04:08 PM

52 days ! looking forward to being there with the family, walking to the beach with my grandaughter and a trip to the Science Center, late night talks out on the deck with my daughter, boat rides on the lake, zip line adventure for my grandson, maybe an airplane ride ? .
