Day 258 – 6/18/24

Starting location: Free wall at Whitehall, NY.

Weather: 66 am, 92 pm, partly cloudy

Ending location: Anchored on West side of Valcour Island, NY on Lake Champlain.

Statute miles: Approximately 80

General summary: There was a heat wave predicted, with temps in the 90s, so we decided to motor North to get to Lake Champlain. For two reasons. One – it was going to be 5-10 degrees cooler there. Two – we could swim off the boat to cool off. It was a long day of motoring, but we made it to our planned anchorage. There was a sandy beach to which I dinghied Cocoa and we both had a nice swim (though chilly as water temp in mid 60s). Tom went in off the swim platform on the boat.
