Several pics since the last posting:

Richard Gamble on the 18th hole at the Thousand Islands Club Old Course.
The Old Course was designed by famed golf course architect Seth Raynor. Raynor’s unique style along with views of the both the St. Lawrence River and the Lake of the Isles, makes the Old Course a must play for any golf enthusiast. Built in 1894 it is one of oldest golf courses in the United States and one of the best courses in Northern New York.
 

Here I am on the tee of the 16th hole
 
 
 
The Zipper is one of the Clayton Antique Boat Museum's Tour boats. It is bringing the Bridal Party to the reception at the Thousand Islands Club on Wellesley Island.
 

Bridal Party docking.
 Zipper was designed for the Purdy Boat Company. Though drawn in the 1930s, the boat was never built. In 1974, brewery magnate John W. Stroh finally commissioned Staudacher Yachts to build her. While remaining faithful to the original design, Staudacher utilized modern construction methods and gave Zipper a strong, “screwed and glued” double-planked hull with vertically-scarfed mahogany planking on steam-bent oak frames. Zipper is a commuter yacht, emblematic of a type from the 1920s and 30s.

A calm Lulu with her friend Sara, a long haired Chihuahua. The two have gotten along since day one. Lulu doesn't get along with many dogs, but she is getting better.
 

We took a ride across the river to Alexandria Bay, and First Mate, Brenda is tending to her lines as we leave the Bay. Check out the ship heading down River.

Tomorrow after playing golf in the morning at the Thousand Islands Country Club, we leave Alexandria Bay for Clayton on our trip to Trenton, Ontario.
