LAKE FLEET ISLANDS to GRENADIER ISLAND & US CUSTOMS on HEART ISLAND

Sunday was a gorgeous day in the Thousand Islands. It was sunny and warm with perfect white puffy clouds against the blue sky. We departed the LAKE FLEET ISLANDS, and headied North to West GRENADIER dock. The scenery was beautiful and we passed under the Tnousand Islands bridge.  We arrived to the dock about 2 pm and were lucky to find one space available our size :) Once Thistle was secure we went on a long hour and a half paddle against the wind and currents to Rockport. 

Rockport is a small town considered the Heart of the Thousand Islands. They have a few restaurants, art gallery, boat works and lots of ferry tour boats!!! We enjoyed watching some Sunday afternoon Football and exploring the town before our paddle back to GRENADIER.

Back on GRENADIER we met our dock neighbors and enjoyed each other's company for dinner and a few drinks :) they are home wine makers and were we duly impressed with their product (Thanks for sharing).

On Monday morning we departed GRENADIER, and headed North a few miles to Singer Castle on Dark Island ... It's a beautiful castle. After seeing the castle we did a U Turn, and headed South for five miles to US Customs on Heart Island.

We cleared back into the USA with no problems ...Yeah :)
