Day 13
Begin: Point Au Rouche State Park (NY)
End: Great Chazy River (NY)
Today I am supposed to meet Leila and join her and her family for the next few days. Its about 17 miles away so given some wind I should be there by 3:00 and have dinner tonight at Leila’s parent’s house.
I headed out early and set sail, it was another light wind, but enough to sail. I sailed the genoa all day and after passing many lake houses and marinas I made it to the Great Chazy River. I plan on keeping the boat at a slip for a few days to spend time with Leila’s Family. This is the only time that I paid for dockage the whole trip, and at $1/foot, it was not too bad. In hindsight, I would have kept the boat at Point Au Rouche on the moorings at the fixed $14/night (2007), which was closer to Plattsburgh, and just as secure. The only downside is that getting to and from the boat would have been more difficult (via Leila’s Parents’ kayak)
A lakeside farm in Chazy.
I stayed with Leila for 2 days and then was joined by my parents late on the night of Day 15. We all met at Leila’s Parents’ house and then my parents and I went to the boat for a weekend of sailing. We wanted to go to Burlington and then back to Valcore Island. Leila opted to stay at her parents as she is only able to see her family a few times a year. No Day 14 or Day 15 logs since we were away from the boat not doing all that much, so jump ahead to day 16.
