Sunday – Day 58 – 9/28/08

Today was a low key day with the exception of Dan and Jori coming to the boat for a short visit. It was fun to see them again since we haven’t seen them for nine months. It was the first time they have seen our boat and it’s always fun to watch people’s reactions for the first time. I guess living on a boat is a little unusual unless you have the good fortune to experience it for yourself! After they checked out the boat we walked into town and had brunch at a local restaurant.

There was a farmers market at the harbor with tents and booths set up at the water front. This is considered a big event around here! It was a pleasant change to see the towns people socialize and shop for their locally grown produce. A local baker and vineyard also had their goods on sale. We purchased a little bit of this and that, which will be enjoyed later.

Tomorrow we plan to start moving north up the Champlain Canal on our way to Lake Champlain. We’ve been told that the fall colors fifty miles north are changing color and our timing is going to be perfect. (Stay tuned for a full report)
