Sept 7th, Wednesday 2011



Had a great sleep, morning coffee and breakfast, Bernie washed the RV. Nice relaxing morning. We drove a few kms down the road to Gananoque where we picked up the ship to cruise the 1000 Islands for a couple of hours. We bundled up to be warm and dry as the temp was 16 degrees, cloudy and some rain. Even though it was foggy and dreary we enjoyed the tour around the Islands with their small, med or huge homes on small, med or huge islands. Some of the boat houses were larger then the homes. To be classified as an Island there has to be 2 trees growing and a area of a 2 square meters. You have to have 2 acres to build a home. 2/3 rds of the islands are in Canadian waters but the acreage between the US and Canada are equal. We sailed around Boldt Island which was very impressive and the boat house was even more impressive to Bernie.(note picture) After the tour we drove west on the #2 and then the #33 towards Prince Edward County.A lot of farms and orchards along the way. Caught the Glenora Ferry (highest rig they ever had on the ferry) and toured along the #33 and #12 to SandBanks Provincial Park. Beautiful big park and campground. Had a walk and then Bernie, as always, did a great job on the pork chops and vegs. Sure glad we brought our long pants and sweaters (as you can see from me being bundled up)
