Meredith April's Sunday Surprise. Scuba Divers






Bob and I were out today and hated returning home because the weather was so beautiful.  We took a ride to Meredith, walked the boardwalk and sat looking at the beautiful scenery, taking in the sun.  We were NOT alone quite few people were out. 

Arriving I started spotting photo opts but as luck would have it, shame on me, I left my photo equipment home. I purchase a Canon G11 point and shoot to carry with me at all times like today. 

We noticed two men parking and getting out gear from their truck...scuba diving equipment.  April's Lake Winnipesaukee the men mentioned was 45 degrees, still quite few areas on the  have ice.  Wayne Philibert and Stu May were kind to allow me to take photos and as you can see they were more than willing to educate me and the youngsters.

They explored the underneath part of  frozen ice. I have to stress I watch Stu and Wayne setting up and safety was a prime concern...they know what they are doing.

Meredith's Great Rotary Fishing Derby on Lake Winnipesaukee, NH 2009

Anglers run quite a few lines this way hoping for the record catch.

Fishing pole. The ice is 2 feet thick.

Snowmobilers enjoy the weekend also.
" The Lodge" bobhouse has a statellite TV, stove and now a hot tub.

Fish weighed in and regisitered, waiting to see which one brings in the record. Catches are hanging for each variety of fish.

I attended one of my favorite events, I enjoy photograph yearly, The Great Rotary Fishing Derby in Meredith, NH 2009. Ice Fishing Derby, a popular event, hosted by the Rotary Club, fundraiser offers great prizes. Offers a weekend of fishing, snowmobiling and I even saw a group cross country skiing on the Lake.
