Cruising Lake Champlain
The Moonlight Lady hearkens back to an era when traveling by boat was “both functional and glamorous,” said Nancy Trejos in The Washington Post. The 65-foot passenger yacht operates on Lake Champlain, whose gentle waters are “nestled between the Green Mountains of Vermont and New York’s Adirondacks.” It makes overnight stops at towns like Port Kent in New York and Vergennes, Vermont’s oldest city. Our voyage embarked from Burlington, Vt., on a day so clear that the lake “seemed to be smiling at us” as we drifted past tiny islets, including one that’s home to the lake’s oldest lighthouse. Following our peaceful night on board, I returned to the Lady’s deck the next morning to take in more sights. Gliding past Shelburne Farms, a National Historic Landmark with “some of the grandest barns I’ve ever seen,” I felt in no hurry for our journey to end.
