Sailing Lake Champlain: Westport Cruise .2

Westport Marina, Westport, New York

19 August 2022

Lake Placid home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics.

Marc-  Having our truck made visiting nearby Lake Placid easy.  The downtown is very nice with upscale shops, hotels and restaurants.  Outdoor sports and the Winter Olympics are featured here.  The Olympic sites remain as training areas to this day.  We passed by the bobsled  runs and the ski jumps.  There are several beautiful lakes here and several mountains to climb nearby.  Many people were out hiking while others went shopping.  

We were invited for dinner to our friends Catherine and Eric's home in Wadhams.  We enjoyed outdoor dining and viewing their extensive garden.  Eric pointed out that the soil here is "Vergenne's clay" and needs special care but is full of nutrients for a productive garden.  I took notes.
