Yesterday and today it was Libby's turn to have a visit with relatives. In our travels, we sometimes meet with my siblings, cousins and so on, but until yesterday, we never managed to meet any of Libby's relatives until yesterday.

Libby's cousin Jane lives on a beautiful location right on Lake Champlain in Chazy Landing. We have great memories of visiting that place when Jane's parents (Libby's aunt and uncle) were alive and lived in that house. Libby and I and all our children have warm memories of Chazy. It was fitting therefore and very nostalgic to go back there. I know Libby enjoyed it greatly and I think Jane did also.

The rest of us (meaning me, Jane's son Rob, and Rob's family of 5 people) all had fun too. This morning Rob made us a pancake breakfast. Then we all went for a short sail on Tarwathie. The weather cooperated just fine with a sunny and warm day with a 12 knot breeze -- just perfect. After a while, we anchored, ate lunch then jumped in to the lake for a swim. The water temperature is just perfect for swimming right now and it felt great.

It appears, that there is nothing but unbroken days of fine weather coming up for the rest of August. Hooray! We are all so sick of cold and rain.
