A Fortnight on the Lake Ends



Fourteen nights on Keuka Lake has come to an end. It was a pleasant two weeks with great weather, warm water, fun in and on the water. The last night, Erik's nearly 7-year-old cousin wanted to fish. We had tried early without much luck, but this night she caught 9 fish in the span of about 20 minutes. She was nervous at the first catch, but quickly became very adept at setting the hook and reeling the fish in. She caught perch, bluegills, and a bullhead catfish.

The image above shows some of the wonderful peaches we enjoyed.

I also include a few photos of the family leaping off the second story of a boat cover near our beach. Even the 60+ year-old matriarch of the clan managed to take the plunge (from left to right: Carlos, Greg, Inga and friend, Pat, and Cindy).

You have been stealth blogging for quite a while, Karl. Nice looking blog though. Haven't read the whole thing yet, but will do so soon.

I've enjoyed reading about your vacation Karl. I need to get in touch with Bill to find out how I can move my pictures around and add more. He had to call me and guide me through right clicking etc. until anyone could add comments to my blog. Look forward to reading more and seeing more pictures.

Hi Karl- getting caught up on all the Blogs after a few days in Galveston. Where is this 'cool lake'?

The lake is one of the Finger Lakes of Upstate New York. They are a series of glacially formed lakes. It is really pretty country with farms, wineries, and beautiful landscapes. If you get the chance you should come and visit. Check out: http://www.fingerlakes.com/
