If you are near Alexandria Bay, NY you should visit: http://www.boldtcastle.com. You can take your boat there or take a tour boat. It is quite impressive and the boathouse that was built for a sail boat is huge.

The boathouse building is very interesting and really like a boat museum. They call it a "Yachthouse". It must be a New York thing. The picture on their website does not do it justice. There are at least 10 restored boats of many different sizes inside.

The last time I towed a boat to Alexandria Bay it was about a 7 hour drive. It was interesting once you got off the interstate. A lot of small towns, farms and a different way of life. One of the ways to get there involves a lot of miles on roads along the St. Lawrence.

Winnipesaukee connection: Dave is taking his lake boat there!

That's on the list of things to do. Hoping to do around 75 to 100 miles of cruising per day and lots of sight seeing during and in between. Did Narragansett Bay 3 years ago, Lake George 2 years ago, and a 210 mile cruise down the Hudson River around NYC and back last year. They are all great places to boat, but Winnipesaukee is still my favorite place, by far. It has the best of all of them and I'm glad it's also the most convenient.

Thinking 1000 Islands will be similar to Winni, but on a bigger scale. I love having a boat I can trailer easily, cruise at 35 MPH all day, and sleep aboard. I would not like to be land-locked in one lake. I like to explore...
