Heat Wave

Summer has come on strong with the hottest temps in years. Lake George and its clear cool water beckons us. Yesterday we never even realized it was 98 degrees back on land in Ticonderoga....until we got back to the launch ramp. We have our special spot down in the Mother Bunch Islands where small state camping islands surround us, preventing most of the wakes from rocking us at anchor.

And wakes there were on this busy Sunday! It was one of the busiest days I have ever seen on the lake, but normally we tend to stay off the water on the weekends. We certainly didn't want to do that with these high temps. The cool water took awhile to get used to...unless you are Dave who dives right in. With a laser thermometer, the surface temp when we arrived at noon was 72.5 degrees, with a thermocline of about 5 degrees colder 3" down. By the time we left in late afternoon, the surface temp was 78 degrees, which was much better, yet still very refreshing, to say the least. The next few days will be more of the same and we will either be in Moxie, the SeaDoo, or perhaps at the town beach. Stay cool everyone!
