Sailing South aboard Lucy III: 2020-2021 (Day 2)

 Kingsland Bay State Park, Vermont:  September 5, 2020

Marc-  We awoke to cool weather... only 58 degrees burr....   Just not used to this after the long hot summer we've had in Vermont.  Easy departure at 07:10 under power since the wind was light and out of the South.  By the time the wind picked up we were past the Champlain Bridge and it was too narrow to sail South.  Breakfast was enjoyed under way and the scenery was terrific.  I finally figured out where Barn Rock Harbor got its name - when passing the entrance the stone cliffs resemble the front profile of .  .  a large barn.  We arrived at Chipman Point Marina at 13:00 and contacted Chip.  A lot of prep work was done by the Lucy III crew before Chip and company stepped aboard to remove the two masts.  All went well with the excellent and experienced team here.  

We decided to stay overnight at the marina.  Two of the neighboring boat crews came over to tell us that Lock 6 was closed until further notice due to some problem.  Oh no.  We have decided to proceed to Lock 12 and find out what we can tomorrow.  It appears that we can get to Fort Edward anyway and tie up at the town pier.

Sue and I went for a walk about the area after dinner seeing beautiful farms and sun lit mountains as well as a rainbow.
