We set off in very light winds
for a tour of St. Albans bay. It was a
pretty bay, but the water was FULL of algae which detracted somewhat from the
experience. We managed to sail into the
bay, but on the way out were totally becalmed and had to resort to the
engines. We were heading to Keelers Bay
to anchor and visit the local winery which has a concert every Thursday
evening. A little wind returned and we sailed the last part and attempted to
anchor near a launch ramp where we would be able to land our bikes and visit the
winery. This area was very shallow
however and full of weeds, so after 3 unsuccessful attempts, we moved to a
deeper part and dropped the hook there, 44° 39.19N 73° 17.77W.
It was deeper here but still weedy and we weren’t confident enough to
leave the boat and visit the winery. So
we swam, fished, stretched and enjoyed a bottle of wine from the 1000 Islands
winery instead.
