This morning we couldn’t get off the boat fast enough—strong south winds began tossing us around after midnight, making sleep difficult. This is our third time in an unprotected marina on Lake Champlain. The other reason we were eager to abandon ship is that we’re heading home for Danielle & Jay’s wedding, which is next Sunday. We drove into Burlington for breakfast at Henry’s Diner (“clean, wholesome food since 1925”), dropped off our rental car, then got to the airport early for our flight home. Danielle picked us up in Minneapolis and made us lunch, then we caught up with each other, a month’s mail and settled back into condo living.
Fun fact: In 1849 near our marina, an 11,000-year-old beluga whale skeleton was found in what was once the Champlain Sea.
We likely won’t post much while on our break. We hope our readers have a Happy July 4th and enjoy these photos.
