Average Island

June 22, 2017

Today was a long day, a great day but long.  We traveled 74 nautical miles.  Leaving Sackets Harbor we entered the St. Lawerence Seaway and stayed in it most of the day.  The land of a 1000 islands is the most scenic we have seen on this trip and we have seen some pretty sights.  The islands are smooth granite with all kinds of trees and beautiful houses.  A plot of rock is considered an island if there are 5 or more trees, otherwise it is

just a rock pile.  There are more than 2400 islands, 1600 are true

islands, of that number 1000 have private homes on them, the other 600 are either a Federal or Provincial park.  There are little houses,

big mansions, victorian, modern, and a massive castle.  The biggest problem this year is the water level.  It is way to high.  Most of the boat houses are flooded.  The docks are under water, there is only one town that can pump fuel, and it is suppose to stay this way until August.  Kingston, Ontario is our port tonight.  We would like to keep moving tomorrow, but there are suppose to be
