| Mazel Tug |
Departing from Chipman’s Point this morning along with Ralph, Linda and
Melinda on “Mazel Tug”, we had a calm and sunny trip north into Lake
Champlain. We passed Fort Ticonderoga
and it was so noticeably different than all the southern forts, with their
Spanish influence that I wish we had stopped to take a tour. The architecture was of British/European
influence and it was made of granite and stone instead of tabby and seashell
concrete.

There was little
traffic and beautiful scenery along the way, especially as we went under the
bridge at Port Henry. The bridge is the
official change from the Champlain Canal to Lake Champlain. Right next to the bridge is a striking
monument at Crown Point.

We anchored in Kingsland Bay State Park and Tom and Deb and
the kids kayaked out to the boat. We
spent the afternoon playing in a shallow cove surrounded by pine trees and
forest. There was a sloping rock where
we could pull ashore and the kids jumped in for a swim. Adam took Buzz (Dennis) out for a kayaking
lesson and declared he had learned real well.
Supper was pork tenderloin steak on the grill with a big salad and some
baked beans. Afterward our company left
for the long ride home to Philadelphia and we made a short visit over to Mazel
Tug in our dinghy. After exchanging some
Looper tales we saw a glorious sunset.
This may be one of the most beautiful spots we have seen so far.
