Crown Point NY

/ shellerina
Champlain Bridge between VT and NY.
About 4 hours – great cruising wx!
We anchored just east of the monument / former lighthouse.
10 ft of water here. No current, nice swim to cool off. 73°F water temp. Good spot to drop the hook with a prevailing wind out of the SW.
Monument / lighthouse near bridge.

We are just east of this monument. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Point_Light

Time lapse sunrise and 360° view of this anchorage.
Granite ferry pier at the monument site. There are a couple of little areas one where one could dinghy in to walk the dog.
There were at least two places to go ashore with a dinghy.

There are some wakes during daylight hours of bass boats and pontoon boats lol etc., nothing too big.

A final look as we head south to the C-series of locks and the Hudson River for the next 8 or so travel days to meet our new grandson on Great South Bay – Long Island.

      “The Triangle Loop” is the Erie, Oswego, Lake Ontario, St Lawrence, Richelieu River, and Lake Champlain waterways.

      The Trent Sever Waterway, with its two unique locks is another choice… but reportedly the BEST thing to aim for is “The Northern Channel of Georgian Bay”.

      That’s a tough to fit into a summer for US as we start in Florida. Not enough weeks in the summer to fit all that in!!! LOL

      We are having a great summer with a semi-relaxed pace.
