We docked in town early Thursday morning in gusty winds, planning on a quick one night stay? Three nights later we still here enjoying this all American town on 2015 Flag Day. Oh yes, it also helps the sun is finally shining :)
It was a short two hour early morning trip up the St Lawerence River from CAPE VINCENT to CLAYTON. During our stay here we went to our first Farmers Market of the season, a concert at the CLAYTON Opera House, the annual Antique Boat Museum Open House and attended the New York State Food and Wine Festival! They were all great events but, what we like about CLAYTON the most is the friendly small town charm and hospitality! The residents seem to go out of their was to be extremely helpful and accomidating and at the same time we have met interesting and fun fellow dock mates while sharing evening "Docktails".
Our Sunday Flag Day plan is to finish some provisioning this morning, say Bon Voyage to some new boating friends and enter Canada!
From CAPE VINCENT to CLAYTON.
Interesting Farmers Market items: Home made fly swaters (with your favorite sports team logo), USA flag made from old fence posts and kissing fish made from coconuts.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Tribute Band at the CLAYTON Opra House... Great show!
World famous CLAYTON Antigue Boat Museum.
The Great New York State Food and Wine Festival...the most interesting item was pure water made from Maple Trees.
CLAYTON NY...a very special all American Town in the 1,000 Islands.
Thistle on the CLAYTON town dock ( oh no, lots and lots of bugs to clean) ?
Happy Flag Day XO
