Willsboro Bay NY

New Horizon was docked at Champlain Marina Colchester VT from August 4th through August 15th. A wonderful two days with the Nevins and a great time watching the local boys catch fish from the dock. Avie, Ailish and Ollie were fascinated with the boys and the boys were really patient with them. We had a successful sleepover the first night, watching the sky and trying to identify the constellations. The next night we all went into Burlington downtown, which had lots of street entertainment. Nana and Nandad left the Nevins to enjoy the chaos and returned to NH for a quite night.

 Nana and Nandad returned to Franklin for Maeve’s 4th birthday and to catch up with family and friends.

August 15th back onboard NH and heading to Willsboro Bay. On our cruise to Willsboro Bay Marina we decided to anchor at Spoon Bay for lunch. Spoon Bay is along the west shore of Valcour Island. The entire island is part of the Adirondack Park. The only access is by boat, there are no cars and only a few campsites. A beautiful stop and so peaceful.  Nana was so relaxed she forgot to take a picture so the one you see is directly from the Cruising Guide - a view from the air.

The cruise through Willsboro Bay is just picture perfect. The mountains, rocks, trees, and steep shoreline are stunning. The water is very deep and gives the feel of fjord-like body of water. It feels good to be among all the sail boats. While on our bike ride today we came across a wonderful piece of history The Adsit Cabin. We also had a great lunch at the Indian Bay Marina. Dinner at The Upper Deck was a little disappointing however the staff were very courteous and the view simply stunning.  Tomorrow we will cruise to Thompson Point which will bring us back to VT.
