The Thousand Islands

After we spent the night in Main Duck Island, we went to Kingston for a few days. We checked in to the country and provisioned and relaxed for a few days. We toured around and went to a steam engine museum and listened to a concert right outside the marina. We saw the new Pirates of the Carribean movie. Our first movie in the theatres in a year. Then we went to Gananoque and my Dad's best friend 'uncle' Bill stayed with us for 2 nights. We went to Camelot and hiked the island. It was exactly like Georgian Bay!!! It's the nicest cruising area that we've been to since the Bahamas.
My friend Calandra and her mom Paula drove to Kingston and came on the boat for a night. We went to Milton Island. Calee is at camp for all of July so she wanted to see us before she left.
Somehow Calee convinced me to jump into the freeeeeeeeeezing cold water. I stayed in just long enough for the picture. Brrrrr!!! It was really cold and swimming in warm Gulf Stream water all winter didn't really help the shock.
We set up the tarzan rope (as we call it) while Calee was here. We tie some knots in a rope and attach it to the halyard and swing out off the boat and into the water. Steve is affraid to hit his legs on the life lines when he jumps so he tucks his legs up. It looks pretty fancy.
We went back to Kingston to drop off Calee and Paula and the Snow Birds performed the next day so we stayed. It was different than the Blue Angels but I liked both performances. The Blue Angels went right overhead so they made a more impressive sound, but the Snow Birds did fancier tricks. There we also only 6 planes in the Blue Angels. There were 9 in the Snow Birds.
