Late yesterday, just after lights-on time, a boat went by Long Island, headed for the bridge. Breezy, low 20s. Brrrr as well. A few hours later, another went by going the other way. Now, I figure maybe it had to be the same guy, reasoning nobody else was likely to be out there. But on the other hand, the first boat had a red light in front, but the second one had a green one.

Sorry Ropetow
Well, it's pretty much like other ice...cold, on top of the water, ...Sorry, I couldn't help my self. Good thing I'm not Bill Engvall.
Seriously, there is ice in the Merrymeeting upstream from the bridge, and it is pretty well solid in Parker's as well as Riverlake. There is a skim of ice right out to the bandstand, including the town docks over to the Mt. Washington dock. This all occurred in the last few days.

I was out on Sunday pm around Pine and Three Mile, the wind was very strong and the spray froze on my coat. Not a day for water sports. Monday was beautiful and calm.

That boat is still there at the public docks in Alton Bay as far as I can tell from Downing's webcam. The Spencer Hughes cam won't open for me this morning.
Curious, isn't it? nj2nh

Something seems hinky...
Does anyone know if the Alton PD has looked into what happened to the owner of this boat? Seems odd to leave it there as ice forms around it.

Conspiracy theory alert
Maybe it was placed there by the same person who drove the Jimmy into the lake? Maybe "lake crime" is overtaking Alton, and overwhelming the Alton PD? Just trying to start some rumors, here....explaining the unexplained. But is is very, very odd to see a boat being frozen in at the docks.
BTW, SLI -- welcome to the Forum. I see you just joined. |

There are still several boats in the lake. Today I drove by the Tuftonboro town docks and there were still 4 or 5 in there. I have seen some in marinas, and a few on lifts in Paugus bay. Some people just tempt fate I guess.......

Last Hurrah
My wife and I made a day trip today to finish getting the lake house ready for winter. Nothing like boating in a snow squall in a 17 ft Whaler to get you thinking about winter!!
I don't no why, but we didn't see anyone else on the lake.... |

I was out as well, but not until 1pm when the snow was gone. Flat calm and not a soul around.

Made a run yesterday, a little choppy going out but not bad, easy coming back. Had the "first burn" in the woodstove, a few finishing touches and we'll be all set for some winter fun on the island.
My neighbor was out as well, hoping for one more trip but the wind will have to be calm. This time of year you have to be pretty selective in my opinion |

mystery solved
The boat that wound up being iced-in at the Alton Town docks was being repossessed and was left there to be picked-up by the repo folks. Somehow, communications got fouled up and whoever was hired to pick up the boat never got it. After sitting there for some days, a local marina was contacted and they fetched the boat out through the ice. Supposedly the web cam showed the path they broke through the ice.

Took the boat out today.
There is still a few boats tied up at the Glendale docks. Probably island owners.

Last Run
Well sadly made my last run to the Island yesterday, had to cut through some ice to get out of minge cove. The Rattlesnake landing ramp is iced over from the snow that fell the other day.
Lit a fire in the new wood stove, did a few things, had some lunch and enjoyed the last visit until ice-in. Now looking forward to some winter overnights. One other boat was out, my neighbor putting up his danger thin ice sign. Bring on the cold !! |
