Whitehall

We finally found completely safe refuge in Whitehall NY.  This is north of Lock C12 on the Champlain Canal.  The marina staf was very helpful and accomodating.  The manager loaned us his car so we could take care of various matters. 
The owner of the marina also owns two restaurants, Dagons (BBQ) and Finch & Chubb.  We ate at Finch.  The venison steak was cooked to perfection.
Whitefall is where the US Navy was born.  (Then) Capt. Benedict Arnold
 built 6 ships in the pool where the marina is located. battle of Valcour Island.  While not a tactical victory, it did help delay the British push down the Hudson.

Total miles to date 222
