Back to the St. Lawrence River

We just returned from spending another four days exploring the 1000 Islands, and this time we brought the Sea Fox with us along with the kayaks. We saw quite a few more ships than last time, but I only took a photo of a couple of them.

On Thursday, a cold front moved in, so we ended up hiking around Morgan Island in the Kring Point State Park. There's a picnic and cookout area reserved for fishing guides to bring their charterers and their catches, which was interesting. This island used to have a boathouse on it when it was privately owned.

Saturday featured the annual boat show and auction at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton. The auction boats and motors weren't very intriguing to us this year, so no need for a bidding paddle. 😉 The rest of the show seemed to have less boats than previous years, but the boats on display were gorgeous. Enjoy the photos and this will most likely our last trip up there this season. What a busy summer we are having!

Extreme 1000 Islands Mini-Vacation

Between a kayaking extravaganza and the Charity Poker Run, it has been quite the 4 days of extreme fun! We kayaked twice a day and even visited 3 state parks to check out race boats and kayak in one day. 

Another sight to see was the 217 ft. Superyacht Elysian at the dock in Clayton. We've never seen a yacht pool like that. 

Then there was the 1000 Islands Charity Poker Run happening, including walking the docks in both Alex Bay and Clayton and watching the photography helicopter chase the boats giving 'Make A Wish' rides. However, the highlight was the wild parade and block party in downtown Clayton!

What a fun vacation combination of paddling and extreme racing!  😎
