Glad you had a good time. Wish you were closer.

Al Wells wrote a great trip report...

Thanks for the report, Al. We were up there the same weekend, doing four
dives a day with Abucs Scuba. We did the Keystorm twice on Saturday,
followed by the Kingshorn and Rockport Wall. On Sunday we did the
Daryaw, the Muscellonge, the Lillie Parsons and the Gaskin.

It's all awesome. The Parsons is one of the most fun dives ever when you
do the fast drift on the wall and "tailhook" the lines coming down from
shore.

Brockville is neat little town. The people are friendly, and we have
never hnad trouble getting separate checks at dinner at any restaurant,
even when we showed up with 17 people last year.

Anyone who hasn't dived in the Thousand Islands region really ought to
give it a try.

Cheers,

The Mounties feed them to their horses.

On Friday night when we got there we ate at East Side Mario's, up by
where all the motels are (we roughed it at the Travelodge there).
Saturday night we were really late and tired, so we just ate at
Wendy's. Sunday night, those of us who stayed on and didn't try driving
back to Washington after two 4-dive days ate at Bud's on the Bay, in
downtown Brockville.

If I can remember the places we ate last year, I'll let you know. They
were really good.

Hi Al:

Have dove Brockville many times. We go again, and again to the Keystorm
pub. Great grub and service.
