The birthday will be the same day next year. Start planning a lake bday now.

Got out on the lake tonight for a little while. I had to go down to put the covers on so I thought why not. It was overcast and warm with a stiff breeze out of the east. There wasn't a single other boat. I hope the forecast for the end of the week holds.

Meanwhile just in case Jose decides to wobble I added a third line on the mooring

.

I got dark fast. And when it was dark it was DARK.

Scary buzzing up 93 from Melrose 7AM Sunday morning. It was if the big guy drew the curtain of fog when we got into Belmont.

What a day though, I knew it was the last day for us, and if there were any way my son and I could inhale the lake water while we were anchored we would have. Truly medicinal for this relic from Mass.!

Stow the gear, change the earl and filter for the long winters nap at Dave's and hope to God I have the health and presence of mind to put the hammer down on the Donzi for another day.

Boy the Globe treated Bizer like an orphan!

Did my leaf cleaning Saturday morning. Took boat out for Trip #1. Went to Alton Bay around 2pm, Broads was great, parking was easy. Went to Shipley's for lunch, had to wait for outside seating. Had our usual wrap. By the time we left, Shipley's was packed, so wasn't public docks. Broads a little choppy on way back.
Sunday, Trip #2, went to Wolfeboro around 2:30pm, again Broads was great, parking was easy. Went to Garwood's, other places closed at 3pm. Didn't get outside, sat by the door. Split a Haddock plate, very good, wish we had the other plate. Broads was great on way home.
Monday, clean boat out to get it ready for boat winterized, shrink wrapped, etc. What a weekend to end the season, weather was fantastic. Lake was quiet. Quite a few boats on the Lake.

Have a good winter, hope its mild.
