Sailing Lake Champlain: Westport Cruise .3

 Westport Marina, Westport, New York

20 August 2022

Marc found a friend.

Marc-  Part of this day was spent driving Sara back to Montreal so she could get to work by 14:00.  I drove up Route 87 with Sara.  There was a 30 minute wait due to high volume at the border crossing.  Montreal was beautiful with flowers along many of the city streets.  Our navigation routed us through many streets including 20 turns before arriving at CRIM (Centre de Recherche Informatique de Montreal) where Sara's works.  This is next to Parc Jarry (old Montreal Expos baseball park) and a train station.  I decided to do my own navigation on the way back making fewer turns.  

I met up with Sue, Steph and our friends Patrick and Jessica at the Essex County Fair in Westport.  This is a traditional agricultural fair with some thrill rides a a few shows.  Shows included a horse riding exhibition, tractor pull and a water acrobatics.  I did wander over the the animal barn and discovered some extremely clean cows, heifers and calves all belonging to Vermont farmers.  The ice cream was good too.
