CODA : Burton Island State Park
30 July 2025
Burton Island State Park, Saint Albans, Vermont.
Another Burton Island sunset.
Marc- It was nice having Steph back on the boat. She helped with the shopping and especially helped with the transportation. My lower back has really been slowing me down (muscle spasm?) so I am restricted in lifting heavy stuff. Some of the shopping was done right at Hero's Welcome General Store before we departed for Burton this morning.
The trip over to Burton took just under an hour traveling at slow speed so as not to arrive overly early. The marina manager was very helpful in coming down to the docks to help this solo sailer tie up stern join the assigned slip. The Island has not changed much but it does have improved trails. One big change is no ferry service since the Island Ferry is out of service for the rest of the season and just sitting at the dock here at Burton Island. One ranger even asked if our fleet Tugboat "Rosie" could bring the Ferry over to the mainland dock.
We spent time today exploring some of the island, eating Bistro food under the Park tent, and playing various games there as well. Two of the games were dominoes and poker.
Will and Nellie
Is this some new kind of hybrid boat? Of course not it's just Coda rafted up to Madrigal II.
Let the games begin.
Some serious dominoes here.
Special cookies c/o Anna at the Bistro.
Somewhere out there is the Wendy, aboard Raven, headed for Burton.
A reunion of sorts.
