I played golf this morning at the Thousand Islands Country Club ahead of a tournament called the St Lawrence Cup. The participants were all US and Canadian Army soldiers; 14 from Fort Drum in Watertown, N.Y. and 14 from Canada. They played both Saturday and Sunday. All of the tees had an American and Canadian flag as tee markers, and the American team all had Navy Blue shirts and Canada had Red shirts. Her is a picture of one of the matches on the 5th green. Obviously the cart belongs to the Canadian team. Unfortunately I left before it was over, so I don't know who won.
Yesterday, I was a volunteer at the Clayton Antique Boat Show at the Antique Boat Museum.
Here are pictures of one of the Museums famous boats: "Pardon Me". It is believed to be the largest runabout in the world at 48 feet. It is a triple cockpit and was built in 1948 by Hutchinson Boat
Works in Alexandria Bay, NY. The boat is powered by a WWII
1500 hp supercharged Packard PT Boat engine and burns nearly 100 gallons of high octane fuel per hour. They do not have the boat in the water because the high water levels present the possibility of damage to the boat in docking. That may also have something to do with the cost of operating the boat.
Here is Lulu ready for bedding down for the night.
