On the facebook group someone was talking about going waterskiing behind a jetski today. Looks like they pulled it off.

+ 1 For taking the unconventional route on Christmas Day in New England.

Really a once in a lifetime opportunity to do this on the 25th of December, wouldn't be the same id you did it on the 24th 26th .... 27th ect.

OK so I wasn't able to be island bound on Christmas day, does the day after count?

.....hmmmmmm? ...... don't know what to do ......should I actually and finally get up off my butt and go remove my 30' olde aluminum dock, and 450-lb boat lift up and out of the lake .....or should I go put the boat back into the water and back on the boat lift .... it's got an outboard so's just like boating in Alaska....an outboard can be used right up until the lake ices over, and even after that like an ice breaker through about 1" of ice ........so's with the weather ahead looking to be pretty mild and no ice present ..... it's a real head scratcher ... like what a-should I do here?

Registering the boat for 2016 costs about $60, so's by registering it in January, as opposed to April, I definitely get to stretch my boat registration dollar, or something? And, all open water fishing is closed until April 1, but there's always just cruising around the lake, gawking at the unoccupied mega-million dollar mcmansions, soaking up that low light, afternoon winter sun, and being totally bored out on the water ....arrgggghhh? It's too bad this lake has no cash crop that requires a boat; you know, something like gold mining, or lobstering, clamming, crabbing, or yikes! .....even fishing ...... ?

One could cruise the water, down past Weirs Beach and the summer dock for the M.S. Mount Washington .......take it all in ......and wonder why Weirs Beach is such a wasteland of business and tourist inactivity from about Sept 5 to May 28, every year? So much tourist potential .....and so much nothing happening?

Now there's a guy with too much time on his hands !

Yesterday, at breakfast, in Wolfeboro, at the Downtown Grille, several of us saw a very large barge pass by the Broads end of Wolfeboro Bay heading north. It appeared as if there were several large items on the barge.

Today, several boats were in Wolfeboro Bay, maybe something to do with one of the marinas.

So, the question is not, "Ice out?!", but rather, "Ice in?!"

[DUSTOFF]

I flew over the lake today and the only activity I saw was a barge near Long Island

[fatlazyless]

Just about every day, in the middle of the day, there's one boat out there which looks to be a 21' Trophy sport fisherman with a large green stripe above the waterline ... just cruising around ... plus a construction barge or two as well.

Could be, the weather will flip-flop, and it will drop down into the deep freeze from Jan 15 - March 15 .... anything is possible?

Yes, it is time for me to go attack that dock ...... arrgghhh .....arrrggghhh....arrgghhhhh!

Perhaps the boat and barge belong to the Island Service Company. They work on the islands all year long. 🐻

I launched my Whaler at Rattlesnake Landing yesterday and worked out on the island for a few hours. It was a speculator day out there with calm water and 100% sunshine. I didn't see another soul around. That will be it for me, I think. If the boat ramp gets snow on it this weekend, I will not take the chance of sliding down the ramp and launching the truck too.....

Keeping the Alumacraft in the water until ice-in (if there is an ice-in)... here's a shot of Forum brother Misty Blue coming over to the island for his annual "first boat ride of the New Year" (this year on 01-02-2016).

Just hoping that either we don't get ice and we can use the boat... or we get enough ice to use the ATV to get across... Santa still didn't bring me that hovercraft to use with the in-between stage of ice/no-ice...
