Last night we stayed in Kingsland Bay instead of Porter Bay because of wind conditions. I've never been in Kingsland Bay before. It's beautiful. There is a Vermont state park there. In the park is a large victorian mansion with a beautiful green lawn that goes down to the water. Park visitors sit on the lawn and picnic. It's just like being Mr. Rockerfeller at his estate. I recommend it.

Today we motored up Otter Creek to the city of Vergennes. Although Tarwathie is a boat for open ocean and although we love lakes, we have had an especially nice time on rivers and creeks and canals. There was the Indian River in Florida. Onancook creek Virginia. The C&D canal between the Chesapeake and Deleware. The Cape May canal, the Hudson River and the Champlain Canal. All were very enjoyable. Otter Creek is also very enjoyable. Lovely nature. We saw herons, eagles, turles, and Libby said she saw an otter.
