Had a great time! Was a little nervous being it is the largest lake I've ever been on and our boat is only 19ft and older but everything worked out perfectly! Launched at the Norwal in Boltons landing, (just OK Place- really expensive for a launch & 3 days of storage), but convenient for reaching Glenn islands. I was surprised how analitical they were at inspecting the hull, I flushed the engine and had the boat out for over a week and cleaned off all the prior scum so I was clean but they still found a piece of sea weed between my bunks I missed which seemed to be a big deal.
Island living was rustic, fortunately my partner sucked it up for the 3 nights dispite not being a lover of camping, :joyous: my Co-worker DD and his wife joined us with their 24ft Bayliner sun deck (it would have been lonely without friends)!
We boated down to lake george town, beautiful area, much improved since the last time I was there a decade ago, nice public docks and accomodations. No shortage of T shirt and chachi gift shops... good food and wine
Next day was rougher water, took the 24ft boat to Rogers Rock, it was a long haul for lake boaters accustomed to a 10 mi long lake but a beautiful ride and very relaxing! Just soaked in the natural beauty and mountains!
My favorate moment was Wake Boarding up the narrows one night around 5pm, area was empty, no boats around, not a house in sight, water was glass and sunset was beautiful between the mountains, I couldnt take it in faster, just felt like a really blessed moment to be a part of such natural beauty and a lucky guy to be a part of it even for just a night!
The water was surprisingly warm! I didnt need my wetsuit I had packed, the quality was amazing, being able to see down near 20 ft was just awesome!
