Our first real trip of the season.
We headed for Heart Island
44°20’.68N 75°55’.44W, which is all of ½ nm away.
Boldt Castle was built here at the turn of the last century. Actually it was never competed because it was
intended as a gift for Mrs. Boldt but she died unexpectantly before it was
completed . Mr. Boldt was so distraught,
he stopped construction and allegedly never set foot on the island again. It’s now in the process of being restored and
we were able to visit floors 1 and 2 which have been restored and the other
floors which haven’t yet. An amazing
place, considering it was built by a private individual at a cost of $2,500,000
in 1904! Brenda took a brochure to
influence her son to have his wedding there.
We continued on to the town of Clayton,
44° 14’.20N 76° 05’.45W, where we spent the
night on the municipal dock. Ron and Vin
were instructed to finish the Margarita mix.
