Quacker Smith to Burlington to Smugger's Harbor.

Saturday morning was foggy.  At about 11, the sun was out, and there was a slight breeze, but the fog did not lift.  It was apparently smoke from the prairie fires.

At noon, the visibility was good enough for me to depart for Burlington, VT.  

I got the mooring ball and dinghied with a diesel jerry can to refill.  To my surprise, the price was 3.56, which was very good.  

I walked to West Marine to pick up the Magma BBQ I had on order.  I took it on the bus back to the dinghy, getting some dumplings at a dumpling house in Burlington.

I got off the mooring ball to fill the BELLUM tanks.

I departed at 6:15, and Norm encouraged me to anchor at Valcour.  I arrived at 20:32, anchored a little further out, but there were no winds in the forecast.

Enjoyed a beer and the last dumpling.  Examined the BBQ and it was very shiny, but it was made in China.  I thought Magma was American-made.
