Lake Champlain in October

Zebulon, NC

Jenny send this picture today of Lake Champlain.   The vantage point appears to be just off Burlington, looking at Shelburne Point.


A lot of my passion for sailing came from a series of one week vacations spent sailing on Champlain in October.   The lake is at its best in all respects that time of year.   Each week brings every possible kind of weather, from storms to dead calm.   The fall foliage is at its peak.  The migration of geese is at its peak.  Plus that, the luck boater has almost the whole lake to himself.

p.s. We sold the car today.  Now we are once again carless and homeless, and only a couple of days away from resuming our crusing life.   We really look forward to that.

  1. Beautiful photo.

    Here in Bleecker (couthern foothills of the Adirondacks) the trees are pretty much leafless outside our cabin. If we go off the mountain there's still color, but not at the higher elevations.

    Congrats on selling the car. I'm going the other way. Owning two cars and a motorhome wasn't enough, I guess, and we just added car #3 to leave in Florida. Yet, we still have Drift Away. sigh.
