The cast of ABC's sitcom relocated to the scenic Lake Tahoe in northern California this week.

And on Monday the show's stars Sofia Vergara and Eric Stonestreet were spotted shooting scenes on board a boat on the water.

While Sofia wore a pretty sundress with floppy hat to protect her from the sun's rays, Eric was forced to cover up with what looked to be white sheets in order to protect his very pale skin during breaks in filming.

The 45-year-old actor, who plays Cameron Tucker on the hit show, was required to be shirtless for the scene.

And that clearly required him to seek out the added protection so as not to get burned by the hot sun and the reflections off the water.

He and Sofia, 45, bobbed about in a red dinghy as crew members stayed nearby on jet skis.

In between scenes, Sofia was seen bundled up in a puffy jacket that she wrapped close around herself.

Her long hair was wet and she seemed to be feeling the chill in her sleeveless long frock.

Also on location were some of the sitcoms younger stars including Ariel Winter, Sarah Hyland and Nolan Gould.

The trio were also seen out on the lake in a boat as boom microphones captured their dialogue.
