Lake Como · 45°49′N
Most of a good day here is decided before anyone gets on a boat
The wrong departure point costs two hours. The wrong hour puts you on the water in the heat, with the wind up. Most of what is written about this lake was written by people who came once, or by people selling something — so it does not tell you either of those things.
This is being written now
The first pages are coming from this season's notes — crossing times taken from the boat, the hours the wind gets up, where you can actually stop. Nothing goes up until it has been checked on the water, which is slower and the only reason it is worth reading.
