CODA : Home at last.

Town Farm Bay, Point Bay Marina Mooring Field, Charlotte, Vermont
Beautiful Town Farm Bay with Mount Philo on your left and Camel's Hump at Center. Point Bay Marina is deep in on your left.
Marc- It felt so good to be back in Lake Champlain with clean water, green mountains and blue skies. Coda was first in line for mast raising this morning at Chipman Point Marina. All went well with the experienced Chipman Point crew doing the heavy lifting and Will and I doing the rigging details. I also added 10 gallons of diesel since it has been three days of travel since our last fill up.
One little problem came up on arrival. We could not find our mooring. Fortunately Todd dispatched Ray S. to come save the day mounting our necessary attachment gear called a mooring bridle. These are well made and have the chafe protection built in. All I will need to add is our pick up buoy. Will Patten was a fantastic crew who even helped me mount the boom after we had arrived. Sue, Kathleen and Nell (Will and Kathleen's dog) were there to greet us at the dinghy dock.
It has been a great trip and enjoyable for me to do this blog to chronicle some of it. I will continue to blog about summer travels.
