Singer Castle on Dark Island

About 2:30 today Saturday July 13th a large castle came into view on an island.  This castle built by Frederick Bourne is now a visitor's stop.  Most mainly are brought over by a sightseeing boat twice a day.  We were motioned in and given a private tour of the castle by a guide.  After our tour the man who runs the castle for its German investors talked with us and then gave us a behind the scenes tour of the the engines, water systems, clock tower, etc.  Mike was certainly in his elements here.  After our behind the scenes tour we were given permission to stay docked for the night on the backside of the castle.  Tonight we are docked at Singer Castle on Dark Island overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway.  This felt like a fairytale story.  Singer Castle is a must stop if you are traveling this way.  Mike hopes to return someday and make the power station run.Thanks Thomas for the special tour.
