    We always stayed on Georgian or Constantine Island every weekend on our boat. I live in the Thousand Islands and it is a treasure. Boaters in the area are lovingly called River Rats as our life revolves around the islands. Rapids under the Thousand Island bridge are very strong.

    Again, thank you for the video. As a little kid I remember my grandparents & parents taking taking the boat from Beadle Point (between Clayton & Cape Vincent) to Gananoque for dinner. I can't believe all the windmills on Wolf Island! I sorry, but, they just destory the scenerly, again, from a 70 year old point of view. My brother & I had a dingy sailboat and sail around Wolf Island on time, we got it big trouble, we didn't know our grandparents we watching with binoacles and couldn't see us for hours. As you may know, the river can kick with a bit of wind and get to 2-3 ft swells.

    Crazy that I came across this video. I grew up in the thousand islands and spend all of my summers on the St. Lawrence River.
    I moved to kingston for work in my 20s and when I saved up enough for a house, I knew it needed to be along the ST. Lawrence.
    You guys would have passed by as Georgina Island is a "stones throw" from my house

    Hey, Guys! We just found your videos a week ago. Been binge watching... Right now we are RVing and plan to continue for another year before setting out to do The Great Loop. We had been talking about it but your videos have sealed the deal for us. Thanks for your inspiration. We'll be watching... If you come through Carrabelle, Fl (last safe harbor before crossing the gulf to Tarpon Springs), give us a nudge. We'll still show you the best eateries. And we've made the crossing between Carrabelle and Tarpon Springs in a 31' sloop. Safe travels!

      I think so... I can't remember any of the cruises from today that a catamaran wouldn't fit - but some of the really narrow sections all could be accessed by going around the specific area! So no worries with the cat!
