Hello from Chipman Point Marina

 Chipman Point Marina, Vermont

The Champlain Canal is closed until further notice so we will be staying at Chipman Point, Vermont.  The bad weather we have had has caused damage in the canal.  We are told it might take 2 or 3 days, hopefully not.


 C'est moi....Chipman Point!

Fort Ticonderoga, NY

We left the Fort on Thursday morning in the pouring rain.  We were approx 1 1/2 hours up the lake when a boater called us on our radio and told us to turn around that the lock was closed and they were going to open up the lock to let water out.  This morning we were told that there were tree trunks and all sorts of debris that rushed out.  Also, it seems that one of the marinas at lock 12 lost some of it docks.  I want to thank the person who warned us, the boats name was Clarillon.

We left Plattsburg on Wednesday morning, direction Converse Bay!  About one hour after we left we got seaweed in the raw water pump, the engine heated up real quick, un peu la panique before Pierre realized what it was.  Pierre fixed it in 15 min.  Hurray for Pierre and his knowledge!


Plattsburgh, storm coming in!
