Cape Vincent Bulkhead
“There’s no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this.” – Anonymous
After our long day yesterday, working on the boat, we were hoping for a good nights sleep and a little downtime today. The docks and marinas in Clayton are exposed to the wakes from the river and winds from the north and west...so the approaching cold front woke us up very early. The wind was so strong that the rocking motion almost threw us out of bed. We were up, dressed and on our way to the coffee shop just as the sun was clearing the horizon. Everyone was out checking lines and adding more fenders. We were glad we used our large orange balls when we docked.
We had breakfast at the Koffee Kove, but they didn’t have WiFi (it was surprising how few places offer WiFi along the St. Lawerence) so we moved over the Lryic Coffee House and settled in for a few hours...no reason to hurry back to a rocking boat. I caught up a little on the blog, checked emails, updated our travel map, looked at Facebook and did a little research on Quebec City. We’re heading that way in September by car.
By early afternoon the wind had subsided a little and we were tired of rocking, so we headed out to Cape Vincent. The bulkhead there gave us a lot more protection. We spent the late afternoon and evening exploring this cute town that sits at the beginning of the 1000 Islands. They have a handful of interesting shops with lots of locally made items. I had fun browsing through them, then we went to Roxy’s for their Wednesday night wine and wings. We really enjoyed visiting with the locals and listening to the live music.

I took this picture when we went by to check the place out...by the time we came back for dinner it was getting crowded.
