Thursday 6th June

A gloomy, overcast and drizzly day with almost no wind.  We set off for Burlington at 9:15, tried to sail for an hour or 2, but at an average speed of 2.5 knots, the trip was going to take 14 hours.  So the engine went on, and we had a pretty boring first cruise.  We arrived in Burlington,  44 28.42N 73 13.45W at 5:15pm and Teresa expertly motored us onto a mooring.  It had rained on and off during the day, but we’re pretty dry on the boat under our hard top.  However, picking up the mooring is necessarily damp.  It’s a little ironic that we can stay dry all day long and then get wet for the last 10 minutes of the trip. 

We went ashore searching for Jazz.  There were a few venues, but, due to the poor weather, Burlington was not buzzing anything like we expected.
