CODA : City Bay, North Hero
29 July 2025
City Bay Anchorage, North Hero, Vermont.
The first to arrive at City Bay.
Marc- I raised Coda's anchor and departed at 08:00 from Port au Roche State Park. I volunteered myself to be a sort of scout to check out the passage called the Gut that connects the Western part of Lake Champlain th the Eastern part. Unfortunately this baby of water is about 10 feet or less deep and thus is perfect for producing lot of weeds. This year milfoil is the problem that is choking up the passage. Coda started to cross through the weeds at 7.5 knots and slowed to 5.5 knots before clearing the weeds near the drawbridge. I reversed the engine and the weeds were released from the driveshaft and propeller. I only waited 5 minutes for the bridge to open.
The Eastern side of the Lake is also called the Inland Sea. Somehow weather conditions are quite different here. The winds were out of the Northwest at 10 knots and the sky was blue. The humidity was less here. The water was sparkling clean and 77 degrees. I jumped into the Lake as soon as Coda was anchored.
