I had a chance to sneak out late this afternoon and get in a few holes of golf at Country Club Estates golf course in Fontana with my friend Matt Mason.  Not the typical weather you’d expect for November 20, 2009.  I hope we have a continuation of this nice weather for a few more weeks.  It seems to have helped the real estate market bringing more prospective Buyers out and looking.

It was an outstanding day in Lake Geneva today and I took the opportunity to get out on the lake late this afternoon in my kayak.  I’m not sure how many more days we have left this year to enjoy sunshine and temperatures like we had this weekend in the upper 60’s.  Kayaking is great way to enjoy being on the lake and to view some of the beautiful lakefront homes around the lake.  Another very enjoyable way to view some of the sights on the lake is to walk the lake path which goes all the way around the lake, a total of approximately 26 miles.

Water Skier on Lake Geneva on November 4th 2009

Here’s something we wouldn’t normally expect to see on Lake Geneva in the month of November.  This is obviously an avid water skiing enthusiast who put on the wet suit in order to take a late season spin around the lake.  It didn’t look like something I’d want to do, but I have been on the lake in my kayak in the past on both Thanksgiving and News Years Day.  The attractive set of buildings you see in the background is the Vista Del Lago condominium complex, one of the nicest condo developments with a location right on Lake Geneva.  The units there range from 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units, all come with transferable boat slips and many of them have very nice views of the lake.  The complex also has tennis courts and a recreation building with an indoor pool.  You can view here a list of what is currently for sale at Vista Del Lago.
