Sharing our journey

Canada Day in the Thousand Islands

7/2/2020

 
The winds were very calm for our trip from Iroquois (our maiden voyage for the 2020) which made navigation though the Iroquois “cut through” way less terrifying.  It still wracked my nerves but at least with calm winds I could clearly see the rock cuts we had to make our way through.  Note – they are numerous and look like they could do some heavy damage to our boat’s gelcoat!

Calm winds, however, also means no sailing.  Although we had to motor our way the whole eight hours, we had lots to entertain us.  We passed two huge tanker boats, several OPP boats checking for impaired boaters (never drink and boat!!!), beautiful waterfront homes and gorgeous terrain.  Our view from the boat was never boring!

Here is our Canada Day in pictures.
