The largest of the Steamboat Company's passenger ships is the Lac du Saint Sacrement.
This 190 foot vessel was so christened in 1989. Now in her 20th year of service, the Lac du Saint Sacrement sets sail on daily luncheon and dinner cruises.
There were 10 of us that set sail with the ship tonight. We boarded around 5:45 and were escorted to our tables. There were six at our table, the three lovely ladies:
Ginger, Jane, and Sandra
Our handsome men: Dave, Don, and Jesse
The equally lovely and handsome 4 sat right next to us
Dave, Rudy, Dottie and Linda
We ordered drinks; coffee, iced tea, and soft drinks were included. Alcoholic beverages were extra. We were told to help ourselves to the buffet.
About this time we could feel the ship moving and we knew had set sail.
They had several salad selection along with fresh fruit to choose from. Dinner was orange glazed chicken, fish, roast beef, roasted red skin potatoes, beans and carrots. Everything was very tasty…. My dinner plate
Our dessert was a 3 layer marble cake with white and dark chocolate for the icing, it was very yummy. It was served to us, so there were no seconds.
Afterwards we all went outside to enjoy the evening. Standing out on the top deck we had a birds eye view of the lake.
Lake George is situated along the historical natural Amerindian path between the valley of the Hudson and that of the St. Lawrence, so lies on the direct land route between Albany, NY and Montreal.
The lake extends about 32 miles on a north-south axis, is quite deep and varies from 1 to 3 miles in width, so it presents a significant barrier to east-west travel.
We all enjoyed watching the shore line and all the beautiful houses along the lake. People were waving to us as we cruised by.
Although the year-round population of the Lake George region is relatively small, the summertime population can swell to over 50,000 residents, especially in the Lake George village region on the south end of the lake.
Here are some young people enjoying the lake.

We had a wonderful relaxing time with our friends and enjoyed the evening.
