Sept. 29 – Singer Castle
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storms, but to add color to my sunset sky.” -Rabindranath Tagore
Today we rode down the river to visit Singer Castle. It wasn’t as nice today and our ride there was a bit chilly. This estate looks like a castle but it is much smaller than the one we visited yesterday. We first visited the castle in 2018. It was a much prettier day when we arrived on The Pearl.

On our first morning we took the boat over to Bolt Castle. It’s one of Upstate New York’s most beautiful fall places to visit. The castle rises from Heart Island in the St. Lawrence River near Alexandria Bay, surrounded by the Thousand Islands. The island is only accessible by tour boat, water taxi or private boat. We visited the castle on The Pearl in 2012.

Sept. 27-Oct. 3 Thousand Island Vacation
“Maybe home isn’t a place. Maybe it’s a feeling you have inside of you being around the people who matter to you.” -Justin Somper
One of our favorite places in New York is the 1000 Islands area. It’s such a wonderful place. We’ve visited twice on the boat and this was our fifth time by car. This vacation with our family was the first time we’ve actually stayed in Alexandria Bay. We rented a beautiful house with a great view of the river. We all enjoyed watching the large ships pass by. Since it was the end of September and a bit cool we didn’t see too many personal boats, but we know from experience the water around A Bay can get a bit crazy on a summer afternoon.
