Endymion Island Day 2 - 7/8/17

Endymion Island was so relaxing we stayed another day.  We caught up with the blog, did some chores, swam and I cleaned the boot stripe around the hull and took Abby for her walks and combined that with a cocktail cruise around the islands nearby.  Debbie did a few cleaning chores and made bread pudding for our dessert. This  is a popular anchorage and there are Parks mooring balls so you don't need to deploy your own anchor.  The anchorage filled up yesterday afternoon and then for whatever reason a few boats left after dinner.  Really is my generator that loud??  I don't think it was that as we only ran it to make dinner.  The water is a little cool for swimming as all of Lake Ontario is but its fine and you don't get cold by staying in for a long time. It is so clear that you can see the bottom, whats on it and whether its rock, sand or weeds.  The high water this year has opened up a lot of new places to explore that most years would be shallow. The Parks dock was closed and I guess they are not collecting fees.  Didn't matter to us as we had purchased a season mooring pass that includes all of these moorings and Park docks. Many other docks in the 1000 islands are also closed due to the high water, and I would guess the boat traffic is down because of it.  It rained for an hour in the afternoon and it poured overnight.  When does summer start here!!!

Beautiful moon last night and just as clear this morning at 5:30 AM
