Repeat Performance

Guess where we were for the past 4 days?

The weather was predicted to be perfect for another trip to the Thousand Islands, so we figured we better go while it was nice out. On the spur of the moment we headed north, and although we did have a few showers during our stay, it was actually one of our nicest times there. We camped in Gulliver for the three nights at Keewaydin State Park and what a treat to have only about half the campsites filled, which is the advantage of being able to go during the week. Yes, we did see lots of freighters and 'Lakers' this time around (they all seemed to be red for some reason 😉), and we tried to get as close as possible to read their names...



We also saw the unusual sight of a mega yacht. This one was named Grace and according to the St Lawrence Seaway website that shows the comings and goings of all the large vessels and ships, it spent the night in Cape Vincent after passing by us and going up current.

Plus the small cruise ship Victory 2 made its way down current towards Montreal, and it seems to be a regular now, plying the St. Lawrence.

We saw and heard more loons, one of which surfaced right next to the Sea Fox on an outing...

Then we saw a swan family near Clayton with this pair having 4 cygnets!

There are so many gorgeous houses and estates, but this one really caught our eye. I love the rounded door...

We had several wonderful kayak adventures too, but I will save those photos for the next couple of posts. Stay tuned!
