Hot & Calm, Days 4 & 5

More of the same, we are trying to stay cool in and on Lake George. Yesterday we anchored out in the Waltonian Islands near Hague. 

The ducks are way too tame here, begging for food that we didn't give them. The male mallards sure are iridescent in the sun though. 

Today we went kayaking from the Washington County Beach at Hulett's Landing. There was no wind but the weekend wakes made up for it. Normally we go either north or south, but this time we did both routes so I guess the boat traffic wasn't as bad as I made it sound. 😉

Swimming is so refreshing and invigorating, and I am getting used to the chilly water temps which cool us off. On the way back to the beach we saw this wooden Gold Cup Race boat at a dock. 

Yesterday this one went by our house on a trailer (photo from the internet)...

Plus today we saw at least 7 poker run boats zooming up down the lake, so there must be some kind of an informal event going on. It's good we saw them too, because the poker run that we like to go to in the 1000 Islands has been cancelled this year, along with many other events both up there and here. We will make the most of the season though and just being out on the water is fantastic. 90 degrees for 5 days in the row is a great start to the summer!
