Sailing to Alexandria Bay. Boldt Castle. Who pays the $Millions for restoration. 

Ep133. In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we take our Sailboat 5 hours down the St Lawrence River to Alexandria Bay where we get a guided tour of Boldt Castle with the man in charge of restoration efforts, Brian Salisbury.
Brian has been working for 25 years on the ongoing restoration of Boldt Castle. After being left vacant and Derelict for over 60 years the Castle and all of it's supporting buildings were crumbling to rubble. To save it, the 1000 Island Bridge Authority took over ownership in 1977 and began restoration efforts making it one of the biggest tourist attractions in the area.
The Bridge Authority is a non-profit organization and takes the proceeds from the 1000 Island Bridge and the fees they charge to come to see Boldt Castle and funnel all that money back into continued renovation and restoration of the grounds.
Many millions have been spent so far and only 1/3 of the 127 room Castle is fully restored. Each time you come back to Boldt Castle there will be some new area completed.
So it is worth coming back to Boldt Castle, even if you have seen it in the past. Things are always changing and new areas are constantly being opened to the public.
