We named our house in the Adirondacks 'Tween Waters' because we are between Lake George and Lake Champlain. Within the past week we took advantage of that and kayaked both lakes. Sunday, we went to Whallon Bay on the big lake and kayaked to Split Rock Point, which is protected from the south wind.
It looked almost like Maine with the boats sailing, and this classy Scout 30 that came and anchored in front of us while we were having lunch on a rocky beach.
Dave stopped and snorkeled around this small island but didn't see many fish. He wasn't in the water long because this is one of the coldest spots on the lake.
There are so many interesting holes, caves, and anomalies in the rocks. This one must really spray water when there are wakes or the water level is higher.
Can you find the original lighthouse that is peaking over the trees?
Yesterday we paddled north from Lake George's Hulett's Landing to state owned Agnes Island. Hot and calm for most of the morning, it was gorgeous!
Notice the stainless-steel anchor next to the kayak in the photo below. Dave went snorkeling in the crystal clear water and spotted something glinting down deep. He free-dove down about 20 feet and came up with this Chene fluke anchor that was stuck under a rock. Must be a boater couldn't get it back up or the previous owner's knots came undone. What a find that will look and work great on 'Flash'.
The south wind did pick up, but we had planned our trip for this possibility. We had paddled straight to our Agnes Island destination and then meandered in and out of the bays on the return trip, staying out of the wind. What a perfect day for swimming too with the water the warmest it gets during the summer. Hopefully this great weather continues so we can do it all over again!
