Wednesday August 8th


Motored for a few hours to Lake Champlain where we cleared customs in the USA and docked at Gaines marina, Rouses Point, NY, 44° 59.52N 73° 21.65W.  We did laundry, prepared the mast for raising tomorrow and investigated the rudder damage.  It turned out that the weak link in the rudders didn’t break, but the cable did!  So we rigged things so that the rudders are permanently down and we’ll fix the cable at the end of the season.  No big deal, except that we can’t creep into really shallow spot anymore. 

Ship’s log: 2113.0 Today's log: 10.6nm, Season total: 477.5 nm
