The RDC Sunfish Regatta on August 20th had northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. The Rec Staff asked that only experienced sailors participate the race and many boats capsized during the race, even the winning boat! Here is a photo of the downwind leg towards Otter Islands.

Here are some photos of the RDC Wacky Canoe Races on July 15, 2010 by Eric Morse. Looks like everyone enjoyed the fun in the sun and many were cooled off by the lake.

Squam Art Workshops: the journal

Eric — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:00:19 +0000

We understand that not everyone can enjoy Squam Art Workshops (SAW), so we are bringing the magic to you!

There is a lovely spirit of connection and collaboration that has emerged from the SAW gatherings at Rockywold-Deephaven Camps. However, the journal is not about the workshops themselves. Rather, it is an exploration of the journeys we take, how we can find friendship in the most unexpected places, and the restorative power of natural beauty– but above all, it is about what happens when you honor your creativity.

The journal is filled with spectacular imagery from beloved photographers including Denise Andrade, Jen Gray, Susannah Conway, Jeanine Caron, and Béatrice Peltre, among many others. You can look forward to 120 pages of terrific essays and wide ranging conversations about navigating the ups and downs of life with humor, grace, or when all else fails, retail therapy. There’s a pop quiz, a kicky craft project, home tours, and so much more including an actual journal within the book itself.

Our hope for this 8″ x 8″ volume is that it will easily tuck into your bag and accompany you everywhere… on the subway, in the cab, on the train, in the airport, on holiday, etc. We hope it fills your day with inspiration, fresh perspective and belly laughs. We trust you’re going to like it very much as we created it just for you.

Loons in Bight

A pair of loons have been in and out of the Deephaven Bight for the last two or three days. Here is a photo of the pair in the Bight:

Loon at Needle Point

Eric — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:29:16 +0000

I photographed Needle Point looking north to the mountains from an RDC Harbor Master boat in the Deephaven Bight this morning. I thought to myself that this landscape makes a great photograph, but it would be amazing if a loon was in the foreground. Less than two minutes later a loon surfaces right in front of me. Click, click, click. I am amazed by the beauty of Squam Lake and feel very fortunate to see the transitions of the seasons around Squam.
