Thanksgiving Weekend



We headed out to McDonald Island (Parks Canada) Friday after work and joined our boater friends for chili. Saturday morning they began preparing the annual boaters' Thanksgiving dinner - roasted turkey, smoked turkey, ham and vegetables galore. Topped off with pies of every description and 'special' coffee. There were (by my count) 27 of us. Singer and Mo-in-law joined us by dinghy. For many this is the last boating weekend of the season and it's a chance to get together and wish each other well for the winter. We had to come back in Saturday night and at 10:30 pm there wasn't a ripple on the river and the moon was as bright as daylight. Today we had a Skype-chat with PetDoc and Noise (and Buggy) and now we're off to the family Thanksgiving dinner.

Hi. It's kind of off-season now, but as far as I know the Gananoque Boat Line is still running island tours (http://ganboatline.com/) There is live theatre at the 1000 Islands Playhouse (http://www.1000islandsplayhouse.com/)
and concerts by Tanglefoot (http://www.concertgananoque.ca/index.html) on October 24 and Denny Will of The Bells (http://www.macneilslanding.com/concerts.htm)on the 25th.
