By Land and Sea

During our stay in the Thousand Islands we explored by land and by sea. By land we took Gulliver out to Cape Vincent and the Tibbits Point Lighthouse. This is where the river meets Lake Ontario. It still amazes us to see all the huge wind generators on Wolfe Island.


By sea, we used both the kayaks and the Sea Fox, sometimes both in the same day. We have found that kayaking is much better early in the morning before the wind picks up, especially since there is so much current to contend with. Of course we love getting through the tightest places.

The morning that we went out to the Rock Island Lighthouse, the current was really screaming, so we ducked into their boathouse.


How many people get to paddle inside a shipwreck? 


We saw lots of bird life, especially loons.


Up Otter Creek, we came across a couple of families of Canadian Geese in the marsh.

Dave's pike...nope, he didn't catch it, just found it floating. He doesn't look too thrilled about touching it. 😉

Speaking of fishing, this little aluminum skiff was certainly outfitted to the hilt...

We would have loved to watch the owners shoehorn this boat into the boathouse.

The end of a perfect adventure. The Antique Boat Museum's auction is coming up in August so we'll be doing it all over again. I think Dave is ready now...
