What a beautiful region. My mom grew up in Montreal and we would go to the 1000 islands often when visiting my Granddad and Grandma every year.
Do you have any more photos of the meet?

Not from this year, but this is a good shot of the ABM's docks at sunset. Commercial traffic travels right past the museum on the St. Lawrence.
