Lake George August 5,6

On my short annual visit to this lovely lake in upstate NY I got in two nice early morning swims. Actually the first one was marred by continuing goggle problems. It turned out that a lens had popped out of its gasket. I was actually very lucky that I didn't lose the lens. I didn't get it fully seated until the halfway point of the first swim when I borrowed some float while I worked on it. For this swim I had the luxury of the entire lake, or at least the bay, to myself. The second day was the better swim, 1 hour without stopping. But I was buzzed by a water skier several times and had to stay closer to shore than I usually do.
