We car-topped our kayaks, picked up Tom and headed to the end of Thompson's Point to launch on Lake Champlain. Split Rock Point in New York looked within reach and we were in the Adirondacks as soon as we crossed the imaginary center line of the lake. It was a humid and muggy Labor Day and we were happy to be on the water. We ducked into Grog Harbor and ate our lunch while watching the motor boats buzz by.
After filling up, we followed the shoreline south arriving in Louis Clearing Bay and then Snake Den Harbor, our destination for the day. Two years ago, we had followed the shoreline from Westport to this point and had just connected our journey!
On our way home, we headed for Diamond Island which sits in the center of the lake. When we arrived, it was a disappointment since it reeked of bird dung. We paddled away from it as quickly as possible and returned to Thompson's Point, happy to have had a perfect afternoon on Lake Champlain.
