LEAVING BURLINGTON, VT, US - ENTERING CANADA


July 9, Wednesday, Day 18 --  left windy Burligton and enjoyed a lovely trip up Lake Champlain to Rouses Point, the last US stop on the New York side of the lake.  We stayed overnight here and left at 9 am in the morning.  This is our second boat trip to Lake Champlain and I have a tendency to forget how big this water body is -- with islands and coves and bays, one could spend years of interesting boating here, with no need to leave the lake.  It feels like the ocean.

At Rouses Point within a few hours we saw much different skys -- all beautiful:






The Fort is called Fort Blunder -- twas built by US inadvertently on Canadian land -- the US never "moved in" and its been privately owned for some years.  
Now there is a "for sale" sign if anyone wants a fort of their own.  



 Border Buoy

Canadian Customs check in -- we can stay until September 15th!
