Lazy Hazy Days

Port Henry NY
(09/16/05) It has been mostly still and scattered showers and will continue like that for several days. Yesterday we took a very liesurly power cruise down the creek and across the lake to Partridge Bay. In the cool fall weather its nice to sail in still conditions. Sounds carry very far. I'm reminded of a cruise I took with Sten-Orjan on Lake Maelaren years ago.

The water in Partrige Bay is emerald green with algae. It's carried there by the waters of Dead Creek. North and south of here the water is clear.

Partrige Bay is very small, only big enough for two or three boats. It's ringed by steep cliffs. There's a big nest near the shore, perhaps an eagle or a big hawk or an osprey. Last night I went up on deck at midnight. It was totally still, misty, lit by a bright moon and unusually warm. I listened to an owl calling.

Today we're in Port Henry to shop for groceries, then we're going to visit the fort at Crown Point.

I got a nice email from Craig and Patty, two sailors we met in Vergennes. Ones meets fine pepole when boating.
