Anchorage Lindsay Island


44 18.477N
76 10.758W
One of the old hotels in town

Our last ice cream in Canada (and we had many)--we have $.26 Canadian left

Anchorage is near Gananoque and the tour boats of the 1000 Islands abound

Fort Henry across from downtown Kingston.  Built to defend against the US after the war of 1812.

Across Kingston Harbor is Wolfe Island with all the windmills.  Yesterday it was too windy and all the mills were turned off.  When the wind gets to a certain velocity they turn the windmills off so that the blade tips do not reach the speed of sound and create a sonic boom, which would destroy the blades.  The windmill farm creates enough electricity to power all of Kingston.
