We arrived from NYC today and slept over. The boat does seems a little beat from last weekend's spot storm. The heavy winds cracked the dodger in several places. I was able to tape things up for short term fix.
31 July 2016. Nice sunrise at 5:30 this morning. I was up for an early start for our 10 hour trip to Rouses Point, NY. West winds of 10 knots favored us during the first hour until Essex when the wind turned North and then went calm off of Burlington. It was a motor trip. Fortunately the autopilot worked beautifully until South Hero. I disengaged the system to give Autum a lesson at the helm. Unfortunately it would not restart despite several attempts. The weather was sunny and warming to the 80's. Our reception at Gaines Marina was excellent. Fuel up and pump out completed quickly. Then we went off to the clean showers. John and Mindy arrived soon after to take us back to Point Bay Marina. We did stop for dinner at Archie's in Shelburne. Nice trip and a great day. John amused us with some new riddles. Autum stumped him with one of her own.
