The 1000 Islands

Rules Rules Rules...No dogs allowed...

So Ma went off with Sue and Tim

While there are many places to depart they started at Gananoque for a 3 hour boat tour of the 1000 Islands

There are 1,864 islands...not sure why they don't call it that?? Humans!!

An official count recorded 1149 islands and islets, 665 of which were on the Canadian side (241 officially named) and 484 on the American side (126 named)??

Most boat houses are larger than our Whistler condo

Then there's Boldt Castle

and the house that just fits on its island

This is not the Lions Gate Bridge

The 1000 Islands International Bridge

is a series of 5 spans to cross the

St. Lawrence River

3 spans in Canada 1 span in International water and 2 spans in the USA and of course the border and customs

A little rain helped clear the back of the

boat

The locals don't like the cormorants because they kill the trees. The cormorants don't care!

The crew looks pretty darn happy!

Thousand Island Dressing

There are many conflicting origin stories of this popular salad dressing but it is safe to say that it hailed from this region. One common story describes how a fishing guide’s wife made the recipe for her husband’s dinner. The condiment was so tasty that it began to be shared and eventually the recipe made it to another resident named George Boldt. George, who was the proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, instructed the hotel’s maître d’hôtel, Oscar Tschirky, to put the dressing on the menu in 1894. And, the rest is history.
