Our Vermont friends Robert and Thea graciously invited us to sail with them in their beautiful sailboat. Here we are departing the Lake Champlain Yatch Club (LCYC - click on the Link below to find out more) anchorage after Walter, Robert and Thea took a dip in the 60 degree waters. We lost the picture of Walter diving head first into the water. Our friends sailboat is a Bahamas class 30 foot sloop with a 10 foot beam and 5 foot draft. It is a floating RV with a sleeping cabin and kitchen conveniences. When becalmed it runs under diesel power. All lanyard winches are manual. I helped with some rope handling and had to pull at times with a force that felt like 50 lbs. Here I am standing on the bow. Teri and Roberts heads are visible in the back deck.
