CODA : Shelburne Bay.
26 July 2025
Shelburne Bay, Southern anchorage, Shelburne, Vermont
Forest fires in Canada are sending smoke into New England.
Marc- Today the air quality we are accustomed to in Vermont took a big hit. The skies were a dirty grey all day. Fortunately the winds had changed to the South meaning that conditions would eventually improve. We could not see New York from Charlotte when we left Converse Bay at 09:00. The Lake is only 4 miles wide here and yet the smoke was so bad it blocked not only the Adirondack mountains but the entire New York shoreline from view.
We set sail at first with a 9 knot breeze that faded as soon as we reached the deep lake. I started the engine and we motor-sailed up to Shelburne. I was surprised to find that we were the first to arrive and anchor. It was nice to get to pick where the fleet of boats would anchor. Rosie with Will and Kathleen were the next to arrive. Sue and our friend Roberta came over by car. They picked up Stephanie and left off wonderful blueberry pie, wonderful zucchini bread and a few grocery items. The highlight for me was getting a ride over to the Shelburne Country Store and having one of their great maple creamies.
Our club event of the day a a dinghy raft up in the Bay for a free exchange of appetizers and our thoughts. A good time was had by all. I ate so many appetizers that I did not need to cook dinner.
