How our SAILBOAT Bagheera ESCAPED CANADIAN WINTER ~ Postcard 4

We finally start our voyage south! We were exhausted and exhilarated at the same time when October 1st came around and Bagheera was loaded onto a truck towards Plattsburgh. We forgot to explain this in the video, but in case you’re wondering why every member of our little crew took a different route into the US from Canada, it’s because the border was still closed due to COVID travel restrictions. This made it impossible for us to sail Bagheera into the US, even with Amandine being a US citizen. However, it did mean she was able to take the land border with Bonbon and most of our belongings. Tom took a flight as that was still a possible way for a non US citizen to cross the border. And Bagheera crossed the border “commercially” with a shipping company! Phew! We know... very complicated... Once the crew was reunited, it was a bit of a race down Lake Champlain and through the 12 locks of the Champlain Canal to the Hudson River. This is only the start of quite the adventure... Thanks for watching!! ~October 1st to October 15th ~
