Lot of places I would like to hit in NY with the next boat. Lake George, Sacandaga, Champlain, etc. Hard to get around the beauty of the home base of the 1000 islands though. I know a lot of people get nervous about running up there but grab a gps or someone that knows where they are going and you are all set.

agreed. Its buoyed, but the water level changes can mess you up if you are new. Best way to play is with someone like RJ as a guide.
I have to say that LG is one of the best buoyed places that I have ever been. If you pay any kind of attention you are pretty good to go there.

We've taken the boat up there a few times for day trips only. My wife loves Lk George. I like it, but it is kinda strict. We have never had a problem with police. I just follow the speed limits, wave and try to mind my p's and q's. I make sure my permit is placed on the windscreen. It's only like 8 bucks for the day. No big deal. It did take some serious research to find a decent launch. We go to either Castaway's or Fishers.
BTW, where is a good marina/hotal to stay with the boat for the night? It seems all the marina's/hotels have very small guest slips (if any for that matter) for overnight accomadations. The boat is 30' so I would need something decent.
I know they do not allow any anchoring in the bays overnight. Kinda silly, but oh well.

You need to stay 200' from the buoys?
If so, thats why people that aren't familiar with the lake get nervous about it.
