We were moving all day today, but don't have much to show for it. Last night I had found a place that could cut my hair on a Monday, walk-ins only ... PERFECT. We left the boat at 9:30 and headed up the hill for my haircut. The young stylist gave me a nice trim and shaping for $20, including a generous tip. When we returned to Crossroads we had to move to a new slip for the day (as a result of the marina being full when we checked in). That was accomplished without drama and made for five successful tie-ups executed in Burlington.
On our last day here, we wanted to explore town a bit further and walked around the University of Vermont campus, then back to the lakefront. The sun was shining and we could finally see the layers of mountains stacked up across the New York shore of Lake Champlain.
A trip around the boardwalk led us to this cool oversized adirondack chair. All of us tourists took turns taking each other's photos. We were enjoying the warm temperatures and soaking up the sun ... and that's the truth.
We returned to Crossroads for a few hours of reading/napping before walking back into town to the Church Street Marketplace. The Great Race was pulling into town on Day 3 on their 2,500 mile trek from Buffalo to Nova Scotia. More than 120 classic cars filed in one-by-one, in parade fashion, to finish this stage of the rally. Although no mid-year Corvettes were spotted, we did see a GTO and Dart.
We grabbed dinner on the way back to the marina and enjoyed the sunset from the flybridge enclosure. We will top off our diesel tanks tomorrow morning and head north, just shy of the Canadian border. Two possible anchorages have been identified depending on which way the wind is blowing. Tomorrow's weather forecast is sunny, light winds and no chance of rain. Just what we like to hear.
Barry enjoyed the picture of the GTO. He had a 1968 GTO when we got married. Loved the picture of you two in the giant chair. Glad you are having such fun!
