Well while I wasn't planning to leave until Sunday or Monday the weather window opened on Saturday and it wouldn't be open for long so we decided to take off. We got off around 10:00 after  swinging by Roger and Marie's boat where he gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate. Thanks Roger!
   The winds were light south and it was very warm. We motored along at speed getting to know the boat and get back in the swing of things. It will take a while to find everything and to get back into the rhythm of the boat. As we neared the Ticonderoga paper mill I noticed a CD in the distance and it turned out to be Doug Jessman. He is the president, treasurer, secretary etc of the Lake Champlain chapter of the CD owners Assoc. and he sails a CD36 which is a very pretty boat. We sailed with him and his friend Roger into the anchorage at Fort Ti. We went over to his boat and had cocktails.
   They left for the night and we had the whole place to ourselves. It was the least buggy I have ever seen this place. In a dumb move I was trying to get the portable anchor light to work and when nothing else worked a swung it in an arc on its leash which quickly parted and I watched as it sailed over the side and into the deep. Oh well it wouldn't work anyway!?? It was a very quiet night. 30.1 nm in 6:30.
