Yesterday Marc and I were invited over to a friend's house to help launch his boat for the season. After a tour of their beautiful house we helped wash the boat to get it ready for the lake. It felt really great to use a little muscle to get the boat shiny and clean. Afterwards we were rewarded with lunch on the balcony overlooking the water and then it was time to put this guy in the water.
We drove over to the marina, boat in tow, and shortly there after the four of us plus one four-legged friend were on board and reading to go. As we picked up speed leaving the Marina
It was clear that everyone was enjoying the ride
The rest of the afternoon was spent hanging out with our friends and cruising around Lake Sunapee. They took us by all three of the lighthouses on the lake.
We drove by the restaurants and they pointed out the landmarks and houses around the lake. Some of these "houses" would probably be better described as "mansions".
And they showed us Steven Tyler's (of Aerosmith fame) house on the lake. Apparently he grew up spending summers with his family at Lake Sunapee and met Joe Perry at the Anchorage restaurant in town. If you don't believe me just ask Oprah. They say the jolly roger flag flies when he is in town. It was flying this past weekend but I'm not 100% sure he was around.
Our friend's house is located right on the edge of the lake.
In one of the quieter coves of the lake.
It was in this cove that we dropped anchor and chatted while soaking up the sunshine. After a few hours we decided it was probably time to dock the boat and head home for the day looking forward to the next opportunity we'll have to spend some time on the water.
