Thousand Islands

The Thousand Islands, an archipelago of 1,864 islands, lies between the US and Canadian borders. We were looking forward to cruising around the islands to get a feel for the history of the area. We saw many islands with unique houses sitting on rocks–some small cottages, but many were masonry castles. The Thousand Islands area is known for its recreational boating and historic houses. The wealthy built summer homes with big boat houses filled with classic wood boats. Lots of visual interest for the captain and crew as we maneuvered Kismet around the archipelago.

Familiar With Thousand Island Dressing?

It originated in this summer resort area. One tale of the source of the dressing is of fishermen from the area mixing common ingredients for their shore dinners. George Bolt got a taste and took the idea to one of his hotels, the Waldorf-Astoria, and the rest is history.

When we’d had enough of cruising, we settled on an anchorage in the Navy Islands on the Canadian side of the waterway. It was a lovely evening with lots of boating activity surrounding us. We relaxed on the back deck until dark – savoring the moment. We are finally boating in the Thousand Islands.
