Good morning blog readers !
Shortly we’ll be leaving Fair Haven, NY, to head east about 40 miles on Lake Ontario toward the Thousand Islands. This is a beautiful spot and we’ve had a wonderful time visiting with our West Hartford friends, Lynn and Kevin Dempsey. The weather has been beautiful - cool mornings, warm afternoons, chilly nights. Yesterday we walked down a long break-water to the point where this small bay meets the big lake. Lots of people were out walking, sitting on the beach, or swimming, but I think the water had to be mighty cold. We went to Trivia Night at O’Connor’s pub and came in 5th of 7 teams, but it was fun and I learned that they used to throw goats, not pigs, out of church belfries in Spain. Who knew?
Fish slapped in the cold water all night and barn swallows have been chattering on the rails of the sailboat next to us. Brian is rinsing off the boat and I should do my chores so we can be on our way.
I'm getting a crash course in NE geography. All these places are total unknowns to me. Now I know where Thousand Island Dressing comes from. So, heading up the St. Lawrence River a little? We'll be with you a week from tomorrow but I guess there will be no fireworks in Canada. We'll make our own!
