Yup. We are back in spider land now that we are off saltwater. I’m going to have to pull the spider sucker back out.

Along the Way

Good bye to the Adirondacks. They end here at Valcour.

Lake Champlain has been pure glass for the past two days. This is the first day of wind.  We’re traveling at 7 knots in 7 miles per hour wind.

The 45th parallel marks the border between Quebec and New York State/Vermont. If you follow the 45th parallel west to Lake Elmo, MN you’d just about hit our old house on 37th Street. Continue to follow it west to St Paul, MN and you’d be awfully close to Larpenture Avenue.
