That is really GREAT Bruce.  What a fabulous site this lake 
is...almost an "inland sea".. For those who have never seen Lake 
Winnapesasukee such body of water suddenly appears in the mountains 
sort of dream like.  The first time I saw the Lake I was almost 
speechless.  Now Bruce, if you have a chance, get up to Big Squam Lake 
in New Hampshsire.  Was where On Golden Pond was filmed.  Still 
pristine with Loons, and ringed by verdant mountains.  Wish I was a 
poet.

Lake Winnepesaukee can get very rough...would think about some type 
for protective clear filter for the lens.  Your 24 or 21 would be 
great..set the lens on hyperfocal, and have a wonderful time.
