Here are a few pictures I took over the last two weeks.
We are planning on leaving Wellesley Island on Tuesday to return to North Carolina. We would have left this past week, but we waited to be sure the roads would be open after the hurricane. It looks like we did not sustain any damage even though a tornado touched down just one street over from our residence.
We have been getting the boat ready to go into heated storage in Alexandria Bay, NY. This includes changing oil and filters on the main engine and generator, washing and waxing the outside of the boat, and a few other maintenance items. Brenda has been busy getting the inside of the boat ready for storage.
We went over to Alexander Bay for lunch, and tied up at the free Public Dock. It was not too busy. On weekends it is hard to find a space at the dock, they have dockhands to grab your lines and help tie up the boat.
Some interesting Cloud formations
These are the docks at the Thousand Islands Marina that were under water earlier in the season.
I spent the afternoon yesterday washing the boat; its about a three hour job. Here I am with my trusty brush and Bucket.
I've labeled my bucket "Bill's Ferkin Bucket". (a miss-spelling) Several years ago we ordered a "Firkin Bucket" from LL Bean and had it shipped to my Father in Law as a gift. He wasn't aware of what it was or that it was being shipped; consequently, he was quite confused when he received a backorder notice informing him that his "Firkin Bucket" was backordered. The "Firken Bucket was a wooden bucket filled with pine sticks to use in starting a fire in the fireplace.

We enjoyed a great rainbow one day last week.
