Horseshoe Night in Ogdensburg
We were Woken up when a Cruise Ship Docked
Alexander Bay, New York to Ogdensburg, New York - Today was a beautiful day for a cruise down the St. Lawrence River, hot, sunny with light winds. Today we passed Boldt Castle, we have stopped here before, but headed for Singer Castle to tour it. Danny and Ted met Tom on the docks at Alexander Bay who happened to run Singer Castle so we did get an exceptional tour. We stayed at the docks on the back of the island and had lunch which took about 4 hours, before we headed down river. We tried to anchor in Morristown but could not find enough swing room so off to Ogdensburg where we tied to the town dock. Friendly people here, one man went off to buy the guys some beer and left us his phone number if we needed anything else.
