Staying Cool

Being in the water has been our way to stay cool the past couple of days. Yesterday we took Moxie down to our spot in the Mother Bunch Islands on Lake George. We left at 9:30 AM to beat the weekend crowds (it worked!) and didn't get home until 5 PM. We certainly got to see lots of boating and anchoring antics during that time. One boater almost ran Dave down while he was snorkeling with his dive flag up! Luckily he saw Dave at the last minute and then tried to go between Dave and the dive flag. Boy, was I yelling. Besides that though, the water is warm enough to be comfortable and yet cool enough to be refreshing. We couldn't stay in the sun and out of the water long though...

Perfect for building cairns! Everyone that came into our cove added to it.

Plus the view coming and going from our favorite anchorage can't be beat. This is Deer Leap at Tongue Mountain:

Today we spent the afternoon at the town beach with strong southerly winds kicking up enough waves to almost body surf in. That was a nice challenge, and even more challenging for most of the beach goers who were trying to stay out of the blowing sand. The lifeguards canopy tent even blew down. We however, know just the spots to be in to be protected from the wind but still enjoy Lake George's pristine water. We also took a short trip in the PT Cruiser Convertible, but I will leave that story for tomorrow's post. Here's a hint though...do you have a horse?
