Champlain already kicking up

Lake Champlain is known for its rough water whenever the winds kick up. We are on the Vermont side in an area known as the Inland Sea, and it’s living up to its name.  

And a stiff breeze already has the lake building. I’m on the Vermont side, and there is already a 1-foot chop washing across the area.

My boater, Charlie Crouchman, said Champlain gets particularly rough with a southerly wind – which is exactly what we have this morning.

“It’s got 70 miles to build,” he said.
