Sailing South aboard Lucy III: 2020-21 (Part IV - North)

 Kingsland Bay, Ferrisburgh, Vermont:  June 17, 2021

Steph contemplating.

Marc-  We continued doing repairs on the boat in exotica places as we sailed over to Kingsland Bay and Kingsland Bay State Park.  Our marina and our yacht club maintain moorings for members here and several were available upon our arrival.  A few adults and several children were swimming out in the Bay today.  It has been rather cool in the 50 degree rage at night lately so I was hesitant to jump in.  I did get on the paddle board using it as a kayak to do some work around the boat.  We grilled our dinner on the propane barbecue.  The carrots and sweet potatoes wrapped in foil were delicious.  The burgers and hotdogs were a bit overdone however.

Earlier today Steph and I applied sail repair tape to the Genoa that was torn in at least 6 places (I expected the Southern sun to be hard on the old Dacron fabric but it was the new 8 inch Dacron edge that I had sewed on 2 years ago that failed).  

Steph- We tried to sail today, but ended up chasing the wind over to the Adirondack mountains and back.  Coming into Kingsland, dad was too chicken to go swimming but I braved the glacial waters as he opted for the paddle board.  We took the dinghy over to the State Park, where lots of families were picnicking by the most beautiful view of the bay, and found that the old tennis courts we last played at 12 years ago were still there.
