Finally The Islands, but first a night in Clayton

Our first sighting of commercial traffic in the river
On Monday we left Sackets for Clayton New York. The wind was about 8 knots so we sailed for about 4 hours. When we got within 2 miles of Cape Vincent the wind made a big turn and was coming right up the St Lawrence, we motored the rest of the way.

Waiting for a table at The Riverside
We went to the Riverside for dinner. They have a great deck which practically hangs over The St Lawrence Seaway. This night we were not lucky and ate inside. We made a reservation for the following Friday night so our visitors would enjoy the view and hopefully see a freighter.

Just East of Clayton is the Ivy Lea Bridge. It is of course 4 bridges. Two tall ones an American and a Canadian, one medium high one in Canada and a very small short one over the divide which marks the actual boarder.
