Summer has arrived and we've borrowed a boat!Thanks to Peter Harken, who has loaned us one of his small inflatable ribs for a few days, we're making the most of the sunshine, long days, great lake, and neighboring waterfront bars!
When we moved here people told us there were 12 bars and restaurants on the lakefront...we'll we've done 2 by boat - so only 10 to go!
Friday night straight after work we launched the boat and headed out on the lake with Miles and Kathy from my office, with a beer in hand and a keen eye on the waterfront properties. We walk the neighborhood every day with Miles, but hadn't been able to check out the houses from the waterside...a whole different perspective.
There are a mix of summer cottages which are more original, and sometimes only occupied at weekends, and McMansions - rather large and ostentatious palaces, and plenty of character filled places in between.
Some even have an outside bar (spot the wooden wet bar and bar chairs!)

The Hideaway - one of the little bars on the waterfront where you can tie your boat up out front, and bring your dog! We can recommend the bacon cheeseburgers (and Miles loves the hotdogs!)
This house is built out onto a small peninsula and has a wet boat shed that goes from one side of the land...
to the other, so you can launch your boat whichever way the wind is blowing
Lots of original boat sheds are used as sleep-outs, or bars. You can't replace them, so they're precious. Remember, the lake freezes in the Winter so you won't want to be hanging out in them then!
