Stephanie awakened us on the morning of Friday, July 28 to tell us it was Eloise’s first birthday. Of course, Archie had to wish her a very Happy Birthday!
As soon as we got up we rushed to borrow the marina car to go into Orwell to pick up the strawberry rhubarb pie that the owner of the Red Sky Farm had promised to bake for Jonny. She delivered as promised and Jonny is one happy camper! Of course we had to have a slice as soon as we returned to Zendo. Delicious!
By 10 we left Chipman’s Point Marina bound for Whitehall. It was a beautiful, sunny day in the 70’s and we’re so glad to escape the heat wave that is enveloping the rest of the world. We just learned that June 28 was the hottest day on record world wide!
This part of the southern end of Lake Champlain doesn’t even feel like a lake. It is very narrow, winding and wooded. It makes for a most scenic cruise.
After going through the first lock on our return trip we arrived at Whitehall’s town dock and tied up by 1:05. It is so easy and convenient to stay at this free dock that includes electric. Archie scooted right off of Zendo onto the adjacent parkland. This is a great place for him because it’s very quiet and he can run off leash.
We puttered around onboard for much of the afternoon and took a quick nap before taking the pup for a walk along the waterfront.
For dinner we had lamb chops and zucchini on the grill. We had leftover French fries from our recent dinner out and for the first time used the air fryer feature on our microwave to heat them up (maybe a little too much)! It was cool enough to enjoy dinner on the aft deck in this lovely setting.
Afterwards we watched an episode of the Wire before reading and going to bed. We really should be concentrating on historical dramas since we are cruising through an area steeped in Revolutionary War history. The next day we’ll be on to Fort Edward.
