CODA : Cruise Week begins.
25 July 2025
Town Farm Bay, Point Bay Marina mooring, Charlotte, Vermont
-Marc: Cruise week is always something that I look forward to every year to spend time with my family on beautiful Lake Champlain. The all-volunteer yacht club puts together a tour on the lake visiting various anchorages and some marina stops in welcoming ports of call. This year's cruise is off to a good start with a fleet of 21 boats that have signed up to attend some or all of the trip.
Our first night out is kept simple with a short one hour sail over to Converse Bay. Coda dropped her mooring at 16:00 and first proceeded to nearby Kingsland Bay to check on Lucy III on a friend's mooring. We are trying to give the boat more exposure for sale.
Steph and I arrived at Converse Bay just in time to have dinner at 05:30. There were 7 boats anchored when we arrived. There was no problem anchoring in 39 feet of water except that I let out a total of 150 feet of chain and rope combined to have the proper ratio for scope of 5:1. No worries and certainly no weeds to foul the anchor at that depth. I went over to assist Will and others helping to install a new anchor windless on Honeymoon.
A cold front came through in the evening providing lower temperatures and lower humidity.
