On Saturday, August 14, 2010, fourteen sailboats participated
in the Point Breeze Sailboat Race on Lake Wentworth.The race is open to all sailors, regardless
of class of boat and is sponsored by the lake Wentworth Association each
August.Light winds challenged each
skipper’s sailing skills.
Great fun was had at the Fishing Derby this year and finally there is a report. Woulda coulda shoulda had it earlier but here it is at last....... Great work by the volunteers and a great day for the people doing the fishing!
We are all concerned about the welfare of our lake. We worry about milfoil and we are working to prevent it from spreading. Our volunteers pull it and New Hampshire Lakes Association staffed Weed Watchers look for it on people's boats who are launching into our lake. But things as small as atoms can cause problems, too. Phosphorus is a bad atom because it helps algae grow. As we celebrate the 4th of July, we need to think about how our fireworks affects the lake. It contains phosphorous...
Our
lakes are just beginning to awaken after an abbreviated winter but several
dedicated participants in our Milfoil program have continued their efforts
throughout the winter towards our goal of eradication. Once again this
season the Dive Team will attack the known areas of infestation with hand
pulling techniques.
Potentially
added to our arsenal will be the new availability of a Diver Assisted Suction
Harvester Machine (DASH) to be purchased jointly by Wolfeboro,
Tuftonboro, and Moultonboro. The details still need to be worked out
but this machine could make hand pulling Milfoil much more efficient in certain
situations. While this harvester will be most effective in areas of mass
infestation like The Back Bay in Wolfeboro it could prove to be useful
should areas such as the Brewster Heath, with deep silt deposits, become
overwhelmed by Milfoil again. Dealing with Milfoil is evolving.
Lake Wentworth Association
members are sure to be interested in this birthday party, and the Wolfeboro 250th
Anniversary Committee is extending a warm welcome to any members who wish to
play a part.
