Quacker Smith to Burlington to Smugger's Harbor.

Saturday morning was foggy.  At about 11, the sun was out and there was some breeze but the fog did not rise.  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 was 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.
