So how did the St Lawrence weekend go? Great time naturally!
Braving overcast skies and the threat of rain over the weekend 6 went out from Emil’s for Saturday’s paddle. Light sprinkle at first and overcast for a few hours in the morning we went around Boldt castle and toured the Summerland group of islands. Emil even paddled backwards at times to narrate points of interest as we went! He’s very knowledgeable on the area and shared some of that with us.

After lunch he took us for a boat tour of millionaire row with a stop at a local favorite swimming spot which we partook of ourselves. Boats on the river aren’t like they are back home. As we were swimming Bill pointed out one pontoon boat that had a 300 hp outboard on back. The driver smiled and said, you can’t see the other one from where you are ?. Oh yeah, 600 ponies bolted to the back of that party platform! You’re in the big league up here. A stop at TI after for a local favorite, wine slushie and called it a night.

Sunday, 4 of us headed out from Cape Vincent for a bike around the lakeside. Small group, strong bikers, we went on the planned route plus some exploring as well. Mostly sunny skies and a sea breeze to keep us comfortable. We toured the area plus a few spots I’d been by when we got lost out there before. Better electronics and past memories kept us on track. I told them, this ride will take us to Hell and back.

Towards the end I showed them how it was not a joke. Check out the picture of the street sign. I changed my trip app part way thru which messed up the distance traveled. Lori and Renee concurred we had ridden 28 1/2 miles. Very enjoyable ride, great scenery. A stop at Coal Docks after for a bite. A great time was had by all.
