We finally made it up to the 1000 Islands on Friday, and what perfect timing it was. Not only did we see wooden boats, but we were there for the Make-A-Wish Charity Poker Run in Clayton. Saturday was the actual event, but the boats were out on the St. Lawrence River and at the docks, which were open to the public to wander and see all the colorful variety and extreme power. This included one boat with 5- 500 h.p. outboards, which is just slightly more powerful than the 4- 600 h.p. engines that abounded...but 5 outboards sure looked awesome! Plus, all the support vehicles were extravagant. Below are a whole bunch of photos of what we experienced, although you had to be there to hear the 'sound'!

The only downside to yesterday's trip to the St. Lawrence was that we didn't see any ships. Oh well, we will just have to go back!
