A picture of the put-in:
A few miles down we stopped at a park that had a designated swimming area and two docks (one for the awesome sheriff’s trailer that was stationed there):
So far, Conesus is probably the most (consistently) built-up finger lake. All the other lakes have at least short stretches of shore that are either too steep to hold houses, or the houses are well camouflaged in the trees.
At the turning point we stopped to cool off and try standing up in our boats. Needless to say, we got quite damp.
Then Neal wanted to try a roll (which he’d only really read about and tried once or twice). I demonstrated a sweep roll. He tried it and made it up on the first (and second and third) try. Considering that it took me 2 years to really learn how to roll, I was quite surprised. Pretty exciting!
We crossed the lake and headed up the east side, making it back to the put-in about 4 hours after we left.
This trip puts me at 109 miles before leaving for NH!
