Is that the York Harbor Inn in the distance?

No we were in little harbor at the ordione state park beach. That view is looking NW towards the Wentworth CC. We normally grab a mooring in little harbor but beaching it and giving our little guy a chance to run around was good.

Nice. That's a great quiet spot to swim.

Beautiful weekend on the water. Water temps near 80. Lots of fun at the Red Neck Yacht Club. Hand is out of the cast but still no water skiing.

Will try xwhaler. Never have had much success with photo's on this site (doing something wrong). Would love to post a TR of our trip to Lake George in August on this thread.

Nice looking boat! Perfect lake boat and I'm sure you guys have a ton of fun skiing and cruising.
Still just under 3 months of boating season for us.

My boat but not my mooring. My mooring is on the wrong side of a bridge that opens hourly. I pay all the fees on that other mooring but I'm still about 10 years from progressing down the waiting list to have it be mine.
This is sitting on my real mooring shot with a telephoto lens shot from the dinghy dock. I must be around 500 yards from the dinghy dock.
Here's a screen shot from the chart-plotter on my iPhone. My mooring to the breakwater is about 1 1/2 miles. Where it says "hoist" at the top of the chart is the boat yard where I keep my dinghy. The other mooring is right by the base of the breakwater. A friend of mine's family owns the land around the breakwater called Ricketson's Point.

They let you dock right up at the island and get out and walk around?

I pulled up to the dock and the attendant rented us a rowboat for $5 all day. Towed it out to an a open mooring, hopped in the rowboat and headed back in. 1st time on the island for us. Previously had just boated out to Gosport Harbor. Really interesting over there. Was great and super quiet for the 1st hr until the Thomas Laighton arrived!

We've done the Thomas Leighton cruise out there, but not the trip where they drop you off. Just a cruise out to the islands and then back to Portsmouth. One of these days will take the trip where you can exit the ship and walk around.
