BOAT RIDE AROUND LAKE TARLETON

The two Marvins in the boat, which included my wife, Polly, and me, were Bill Daley and Liz Bayne of Haverhill. We had two outstanding takeaways from this splendid afternoon boat adventure. Our first was to see the lake’s celebrated loon Mom with her chick, both swimming at leisure, and cruising the waters just offshore, a safe distance away from our boat.
