After getting Taking Stock tied up, the six of us and Watson set out for Sloop Bay on Valcour Island. Had a great lunch provided by the Hollands and then went through the extraordinary effort of launching the dinghy and Amy, Sue Jim and Watson went ashore. Valcour Island is a New York State protected area and is where Benedict Arnold held off the Brits to defend Ft Ticonderoga. Very beautiful ashore.
Back to Burlington we had a little wine and cheese on Taking Stock and then went out to dinner. We tried to go to the Ben and Jerry's in downtown Burlington but we guessed there was a one hour wait to get in. Can you imagine!!! We had to settle for some soft-serve. Quite frankly I now remember why I haven't had any since high school.
This morning we are meeting the Hollands for breakfast and then we will try to eke out a cruise across the lake before the rain starts again. We will see how successful we are.
