Smooth Sailing on Lake Champlain
We had the most wonderful time on a classic sloop called Friend Ship yesterday sailing with Diddy and Yeo out of Burlington, VT. After a quick, but thorough safety talk, we set sail on what the Captain called a “Goldilocks”day with perfect wind conditions. Diddy and Yeo worked seamlessly together to give us the smoothest sail we have ever experienced. The 2 hr trip was filled with interesting facts and lore about Lake Champlain and the surrounding area. We ate our lunch and then enjoyed putting our feet in the water as we explored the lake. If you plan on visiting the Burlington area, we highly recommend making a reservation online. We got one of the last time slots available for the week we visited so reserve early and don’t miss out. It was definitely a highlight of our vacation and we will be back next year.

Magical Sunset Cruise
My husband and I were invited by our son and his fiancée to join them on a sunset cruise on Lake Champlain last Friday, July 15, 2022. Even though we got there only minutes before departure, Captain Obie was very friendly and welcoming. There were only 6 passengers (our group and a couple on their honeymoon), the captain and first mate. Getting everyone on board, orienting us to safety protocol, and leaving the harbor were done quickly and efficiently. Once we were underway, Trish, the first mate set up a small table in the cockpit area and served us the pizza and wine we brought aboard. The boat was comfortable and there was plenty of room for all the passengers. My son and his fiancée moved to sit on the deck area to watch the sunset. Obie gave us an informal tour of parts of the lake, and answered all our questions about the lake, sailing, and Vermont. We enjoyed talking with her and Trish, both very professional, capable and personable women. We were very impressed with them, the beautiful boat, the cruise, and the Lake Champlain. Our evening was magical. I highly recommend this company and the sunset cruise.
