Yes this lake George. The fence posts were handy once the wire was removed. You could view them as a depth gauge. Of course back then, when there was water in the lake, folks didn't sail in 7 inches of water. We sailed out in the chop with proper fins. I did meet one clever fellow there once. Most of us ran out of water 500 metres from the car park and struck for home on foot in the mud. This fellow carried a special cut-off fin and a screw driver in his back pocket. He swapped it for the last run home and, at a moderate and safe speed, sailed to within 200 metres of the carpark.
Modern speed sailors would bemoan all that wasted flat water if they knew what this, the superior Lake George, was like in its heyday. Did I mention the wind? 5.5 from the east, every afternoon in summer. It'll be back one day.
