Saturday August 11th


Went for a bike ride across Rouses Point Bridge to our home state of Vermont.  Returned to the boat and prepared to set sail.  The forecast was for rain later, so when we set off, we were expecting to get wet.  As is turned out we had a beautiful beat from noon until about 4:30pm, when the rain started, so we only had half an hour of rain before anchoring in Carry Bay, 44° 50.13N 73° 17.14W.  Lake Champlain looks like its going to be a very nice sailing area for our last month of cruising, with many islands and bays in which to anchor.  Teresa went for a swim in the rain and cleaned the boat’s waterline.  Ron went fishing, caught a smallmouth bass and filleted it for an appetizer.  Teresa cooked the fish in beer batter and cracker crumbs.  A delicious, but small, appetizer.  Ron needs to learn how to fillet a fish without wasting most of the meat.
