I have to
say, we didn't get here this year. At least we didn't get up the Rideau
Canal. We did spend a little time in Kingston, ON (the bottom cornor of
the box) and went down the St. Lawerence to Clayton, NY (just at the lower
left cornor of the white label).
The
trip to Clayton included checking in with US Customs and Border Patrol
at Cape Vincent where we shared the St. Lawerence with a couple of
small waterspouts, an introductory tour of the Thousand Islands area, an
antique raceing motorboat regatta, and a visit with my daughter and grandchildren.
At the end of our stay we headed across Lake Ontario to Oswego to the start of the New York Canal system - the topic of the next issue.
We will return to the Rideau Canal next year. We enjoyed the slower pace of the canals and the gorgeous Canadian summer to pass it up.
