Day 11
Begin: Valcour Island
End: Plattsburgh Canal Terminal Wall
Day 11 started late. I had some breakfast and knowing that I had not too far to go I decided to take a trip ashore to see what this new side of the island had. I rowed ashore and found some overgrown trails, this side (eastern) of the island had much less developed trails than the western side.
Plattsburgh from Valcour Island, the white blip just to the left of the island.
After heading back to the boat I set sail, there was a good west wind and I made it to Plattsburgh in only a couple of hours. I tied up to the wall and did some cleaning and relaxing. I’ve been here many times via land, but still took a walk around. There was a neat looking sailing barge from before the invention of motors that was being worked at the wall. I took some time and look at that as well.
Leila eventually came by and we had some lunch, she also brought some essentials. As the sun went down I decided I would feel more comfortable anchored in the cove rather than tied to the exposed wall. There was to be a north-east breeze in the morning and I was afraid of the boat hitting the wall in the waves as well as there were a ton of fishermen all over the place. I slept soundly out in the middle of the bay.
Tomorrow I was heading north, most likely to Point Au Rouche State Park.
