Sailing on the last day of our cruise under spinnaker and mizzen.
Marc- We had some nasty thunderstorms that came through our first night in Vermont and you can get an idea from the radar photo below. Heavy rain and lots of lightning. Today the promised coffee and blueberry muffins were available at 08:00 when we made our way to the Chipman Point Marina Store. Pat was there to greet us and to wish us well on our journey. Her son Chip came over to assist in getting fuel on the boat. We motored about three miles and then set the spinnaker and then the mizzen sail. We were soon doing 7 knots in a 15 knot breeze from the South. Unfortunately this wonderful scene ended as we reached the Champlain bridge and we had a 180 degree wind shift. Down came the sails and we motored on. The first rain / thunderstorm hit us off of Westport, New York. The second waited until we arrived at our mooring. Nothing very serious in terms of storms. Todd Smith came out to help us and welcome us back to Point Bay Marina. John and Mindy came over and took us to their home for a fantastic dinner. We will be staying on the boat for a few days to do some projects before Sue and Sara come up on Friday.
Good prices eh?
Yummy blueberry muffins.
Maple syrup.
Passing French Fort Carillion ( later Fort Ticonderoga under the British).
