CODA: Cruise Week - Weather delays for some - Burton Island State Park

 3-4 August 2023

Burton Island State Park

Burton Island, Vermont

Living the dream.


Marc-  We are still at peaceful Burton Island while the wind and storms carry on.  Much of the DIYC fleet has moved South to Valcour Island or beyond.  Four of the most adventurous sailboats left yesterday in mounting winds with gusts reaching 30 knots and as much as 6 foot waves.  No hurry for us since our next reservation is at Burlington on Saturday.  John and Michael Foley aboard Madrigal II have remained as well. 


We enjoyed a fantastic time socializing and having dinner aboard Madrigal II.  

    The winds persisted all night with thunderstorms lighting the sky at a distance.  No problems here.  I had time to replace the galley faucet with a more modern design (the crew threatened mutiny if the spring loaded faucets, designed to limit water use, were not replaced).

Michael's fire.  Sara Lou's marshmallow.
