Jim's brother, Bob, and Donna Benjamin and Jim's cousin Leslie and Kitty came to the marina in the evening, and we all went out to dinner at the new City Steak and Seafood Restaurant in Whitehall. We then took a ride up the hill to Skene Manor, built in 1875, with a great view of the town and canal. However, I forgot my camera and was so disappointed because it was an unbelievable view of the town, mountains, and canal. We are leaving tomorrow to head south on the Champlain Canal.

Lock 12 Marina and Finch and Chubbs
There has always been a deadhead in Benson, VT for the past 10 years and someone finally put a plastic flamingo on top so it can be seen. It's right in the middle of the channel. You will have to enlarge the picture to see it better.
Bob and Donna Benjamin's house on the lake just south of Ft. Ticonderoga. It's the tall green house in the middle with the peaked roof.

Leaving Westport Marina
We left Westport Marina at 0800 to find a blue sky and a very calm lake for our 5 hour 1/2 hour ride to Whitehall at Lock 12 Marina. Lily will miss watching out the pilothouse door for the resident cat, Tiller, who she discovered sleeping in the ship's store. We have not seen many boats traveling this summer on the lake. Most of them are from Canada.
