• Greetings from the middle of Lake Champlain. Despite a ton of work I toil a long planned vacation today with seven of my  Friends to Woods island just off the coast of Saint Albans Vermont. We kayaked about four hours to get here. It Was pretty amazing… It was a stiff wind and really high waves. I think three out of our group capsized and we had to go to shire to get them back in their boats.

We got the island about 8 o’clock with just enough sunlight to collect wood for a fire and set up our tents. We cooked and drank till it started raining again and we all headed for our cats. It’s almost midnight and I’m listening to a light rain on my tent it’s a great night for sleeping out.

More tomorrow from the lake

Night all night Sam
