Catch Up

We are floating on the end of a dock near the middle of Lake (more like river) Champlain at Chipman Point Marina near Fort Ticonderoga. We came 30 miles from a mooring in Mile Bay out back of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum through beautiful country, almost pulled into the gas dock (they did not answer the radio) to ask if there were any transient slips and were directed to the next pier. Carrie Rose felt sluggish at the helm, and it turned out there was a swift current running against us along with a strong headwind. Charlotte asked if there was a way to get to the fort and we were promptly given the keys to a Scion and directions. I think it may be time to move to a more trusting place!
