A summer spent at baseball games and with friends

This summer, besides being wet and cold, has been really busy. Our oldest son decided to try out for the 9U All-Star baseball team and was accepted. At that point, we realized that our commitment to explore New Hampshire was going to be limited. With our weekends being spent at baseball tournaments and practices, we did not travel [...]

Dreaming about boating…

Today while I was cleaning off the snow from our boat storage tent, I unsnapped the cover and checked the inside of the boat to make sure everything was okay. We do not want any unwanted guests taking advantage of the parked boat. While I was in the boat, I sat in the driver’s seat [...]

Last boat trip of the season to see the foliage

Columbus Day Weekend is usually peak foliage in New Hampshire.

Our visit to Swains Lake, Barrington, New Hampshire

Continuing on our boating adventures, we tried our local lake. We have been on Swains Lake many times before with our old boat, a 13 foot aluminum boat with a 6.5 hp motor, but this would be our first adventure with our new motorboat on this lake. The boat landing is very easy to navigate [...]

Boating with kids on Merrymeeting Lake in New Durham, NH

Once we arrived we were greeted by a [...]

Our first boating adventure

We recently purchased a new motor boat. We graduated from a 14′ aluminum boat to a 1998 20′ Glastron bow rider. Today, we took the boat out to Pleasant Lake in Deerfield/Northwood, New Hampshire for our first official trip. It is a 495 acre lake that is relatively populated by houses on all sides. We have [...]
