One benefit of changing course has been spending time on
Lake Champlain. We are both very taken
by the beautiful clear water, ringed by forest and the Adirondack Mountains of
New York on one side and the Green Mountains of Vermont on the other. We have crossed paths again with four other
cruising couples we met earlier in the trip – all have changed plans from our
first meeting. The weather continues to
be changeable. Even on the days the
forecast shows zero percent chance of rain, we can’t count out a short
downpour. Some days we can see rain on
the New York side of the Lake and it is clear on the Vermont side.
After leaving the marina at Rouses Point, we took a slow cruise to anchor in Pelots Bay. The Bay was larger and more expansive than we had envisioned, enough to hold 100 boats or more.

| You've read about sitings of the Loch Ness Monster. I think we found "Champ" in Pelots Bay. We were awakened in the morning by a very strange sound passing our boat! Here's the video ... |
Next we moved to an anchorage on Treadwell Bay at Long Point State Park. We took the dinghy over to the park dock and walked some of the trails through the woods to the Point and then down to the beach on the far side. Although the anchorage appears very expansive in the photos below, it was really much more intimate than Pelots Bay.
We have run into very few Americans on the water, everyone on
this part of the Lake seems to be from Montreal!
