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?!"

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

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.....

Praying for ICE

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...
