Sailing Lake Champlain: Westport Cruise .1

 Point Bay Marina Moorings, Charlotte, VT

18 August 2022

Marc-  Steph and I set sail for Westport to join in with the DIYC weekend cruise early. Westport Marina provided us with a nice protected slip since the lake was a bit lumpy with winds out of the East at 10-15 knots and with floating seawall was missing (it is placed on the bottom of the lake to protect it from ice in the winter and not yet raised).  Sue picked up Sara at the bus station in Burlington and went off to do our weekly Lake Champlain Maritime Museum rowing before driving over to Westport.  Steph and I went in search of an ice cream parlor and found one on Main Street.  Afterward we visited the Westport Library where Steph obtained a Library card and took out some dvd's.  After dinner we went over to Ballard Park to listen to a country and western band.  The setting is wonderful with Lake Champlain and the Vermont mountains in the background.
