Sail Beyond Cancer Vermont

10/15/2026

⛵ Lake Champlain is a special place for all of us at Sail Beyond Cancer Vermont, and its waters hold some incredible history!

We're proud to share this fascinating article written by .carrier, one of our wonderful SBCVT volunteers, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Valcour Island.

Thank you, Jim, for sharing your storytelling talents and helping bring Lake Champlain's remarkable history to life!

⚓ Take a few minutes to enjoy this great read!

Starring Benedict Arnold, the conflict on Lake Champlain 250 years ago was the most important Revolutionary War fight you’ve never heard of.

🌈 Our last two sails of the season were something special - rainbows over Lake Champlain, anniversaries celebrated, and new friends coming together to support one another and enjoy a break from treatment.

Aboard Tranquility, there was time to share stories, laugh, and take in the beauty of the lake together. A beautiful way to close a season filled with connection and care. 💙⛵

Thank you to our volunteers and supporters for making moments like these possible.

100 sails in just under 120 days! ❤

One hundred times this season, onboard volunteers showed up to share their passion and our beautiful lake. Behind every sail, our schedulers exchanged countless messages to help nominees experience this time with their loved ones. And 100 times, together, we brought our mission to life for people and families challenged by cancer.
