CODA Vermont DIYC Cruise Week 2025 (9).

CODA : Burton Island State Park

2 August 2025 

Willsboro Marina, Willsboro, New York.

Marc-  We started the day off with a hike along the western shore of Valcour Island after breakfast. 

Valcour trails.

Is the poison ivy?

A rather harmless large snake crossed our path.

On returning Coda pulled its anchor and headed off to Valcour Island Marina to drop off Steph.  The trip really began at that point and I motored the entire 3 hours to Willsboro Marina at about 6 knots.  A friendly local boater helped me tie up and all was well.  Steph showed up by car soon afterward.

The events for the day were games and the final cruise dinner.  Steph and I ran the croquet game.  We also had Farkle in the cockpit.  The dinner was fine.  There was an awards ceremony at the end with Steph winning a Sweatshirt and a Champlain chocolate bar for her tie in the hula hoop competition at Burton.  There was a strong turnout of 24 for dinner.  A good time was enjoyed by all.
