2014 Morgan Pub Crawl--New England: Day 13 Our day in Wolfeboro NH

Our Sunday ended with delightful dinners all around. Some went to WolfTrap, a noted marina type restaurant tucked away a bit north of town. We walked. It was worth the effort.

While enjoying our dinner the owner mentioned that we didn't have to walk... there was a water taxi.... which we took back to town when we were finished dining.

Another contingent of Crawlers met up at the Dockside and found this neat patio for dinner... called "The Dockside". How clever.

A bit about Wolfeboro and Lake Winnipesaukee....
Wolfeboro is the oldest summer resort in America.

And Wikipedia states: "Lake Winnipesaukee /ˌwɪnɪpəˈsɔːki/ is the largest lake in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It is approximately 21 miles (34 km) long (northwest-southeast) and from 1 to 9 miles (1.6 to 14.5 km) wide (northeast-southwest), covering 69 square miles (179 km²)—71 square miles (184 km²) when Paugus Bay is included^[2]—with a maximum depth of 212 feet (65 m).
"The lake contains at least 258 islands,^[1] half of which are less than a quarter-acre in size, and is indented by several peninsulas, yielding a total shoreline of approximately 288 miles (463 km). The driving distance around the lake is 63 miles (101 km). It is 504 feet (154 m) above sea level. Winnipesaukee is the third-largest lake in New England after Lake Champlain and Moosehead Lake.
Outflow is regulated by the Lakeport Dam^[3] (in Lakeport, New Hampshire) on the Winnipesaukee River."

Our day started with bright sunshine and a clear forecast--temps to be in the high 70's today.

The cars looked good this morning, in their reserved parking places.

Newcomer to the Crawl and Al Marsh's friend Marianne, took this selfie in the window of a Wolfeborough restaurant where we had breakfast.

Then off to the Belle, a lake paddle boat, for a 90-minute tour of the lake shore from the lake's point of view.

Before boarding we gathered together for a group photo, taken by Marianne.

And a gallant Charlie Miller leads the way to the on-ramp.

Once on the lake, the shoreline showed its opulence. Many well done and expensive summer homes, many of which were owned by some pretty famous people, including movie and TV stars, and corporate high management and owners.

Next to the Belle paddlewheel boat this 28 foot HarkerCraft boat was moored. Sign said 45 minute rides for $22. Reg said, lets go! Within a few minutes 7 of us had signed up.

The calm put-put leaving the dock.

Then the roar of 350 horsepower lifted the bow and away we went.

Reg and I got the back seat.

We saw many of the same famous people houses described in the 90 minute paddle boat tour, but in the HarkerCraft it only took 45 minutes.

After the cruises and some shopping we all settled down for a quiet afternoon, but at 5, the sun was over the yard arm and enough of this pub business, the Martini Tasting and Cosmopolitan happy hour began.
