In my estimation there’s no finer time to sail on Lake Champlain than September. Bluebird skies. Crisp autumn air replaces humid August air. And generally the winds are wonderful.
Calmly, quietly, gloriously #SailingErrant on #LakeChamplain. Have a spectacular #LaborDayWeekend! pic.twitter.com/mX8RbYfiUu

Not much wind in this shot though, so sailing will have to wait for another day. Maybe tomorrow…
Looks like somebody was fishing too close to #SailingErrant this weekend. You snag my boat; I snag your tackle. pic.twitter.com/EBZhf1HMZE

Snagged! See what happens when the wind drops and the sailboat drifts on a mooring? Fishermen become brazen, and defenseless Errant gets snagged.
Fortunately conditions are freshening and my vessel will shortly be scudding across Lake Champlain’s waves, safe from cast lures and jelly worms.
