George Pensel grew up on the east bank of Lake George in upstate New York, where his father ran a marina. A boyhood of picnic baskets and trips out to the islands and hanging around the family business involved water-skiing most of all. Young George just loved to ski and to drive boats. Frustrated at the State of New York's insistence that no one younger than ten might hold a boating license, he took, at the age of eight, a flat-bottomed boat with a three-horse Evinrude on a cruise of ever-smaller concentric circles. He swam in Lake George on his birthday, May 30th, and he froze his little keester off. He paddled a dinghy to see his friends. He slalomed more than he walked in the summertime. He worked around the marina until the age of fifteen when, one morning, his dad announced plans for something else, his father's joy in lakeside retail, lakeside service gone now.
