Champlain Lake
We wake up to a crisp autumn morning, leaves are starting to turn red all around us and slowly drift to ground. There was a frost warning already, mountain region only, where fortunately we are not, but we start the stove this morning anyway, to take the cold and humidity out. By 12:45 we leave the Canadian water behind us and just as soon I am watering American bushes with some good, smooth Cuban rum – we wish we thought about this and left it with somebody who would appreciate this more than the American soil. What a waste!!! The air is cold, NW wind gives us a hint of what we are to escape, but by the evening it feels like summer again and we are on the way to join J-P’s friend with their catamaran for a day or two of leisure on Lake Champlain. Life is good!
