The houses are quite large on this island and this one had its own water tower, along with a wooden boat hiding in the boathouse...
Many of the houses and boathouses look quite a bit like the ones in the Thousand Island Park, and that is because Grennell is very close by that community on Wellsley Island...
The large blow-up floats and tubes are trendy right now. We have seen flamingos and swans among others. This one was neither but made us really laugh...
I am not sure if this island is a house or the house is an island, because the house took up the whole island.
This Great Blue Heron didn't want to leave its feeding area.
Moose on the roof! You can also see how high the water still is.
After this exploration, we were still ready for more paddle time, so we loaded the yaks back up and headed towards Clayton and Washington Island. That is where we saw the swan family.
We were really impressed with the St. Lawrence Restoration Company, where the docks were filled with vintage wooden boats. Some day we will have to go back and visit by land.
What a great outing, but next time we do this I would like to have a sign made up to leave on the boat that says something like, "Gone kayaking. Be back shortly." Now that we seem to go so far away from the 'mothership', I get nervous that once we are out of sight of the boat that someone might wonder why there is an 'abandoned' boat anchored out and have it towed. It certainly doesn't stop us from padding though! 😉
