We then had a leisurely motor down the 7 miles of Otter
Creek back to the lake. A gentle breeze
was blowing so we hoisted sails and sailed (to windward naturally) most of the
way back to Burlington. The winds were
light – between 4 and 8 knots which made for a pleasant, albeit slow,
beat. One of the nice things abut
sailing, particularly when winds are light and the boat is quiet, is that you
get to see nature close up. This island
is called Stone Boat, 44
14.19N 73 20.06W. At 5pm we admitted
defeat in 3 knot winds and motored the rest of the way. Anchored at North beach again for the
night.
