Kingston to Endymion Island 7/11/17

We enjoyed ourselves at Endymion Island so much last week and there are mooring balls here too so we decided to come and spend some more time here.  Its a Parks Canada island and has mooring balls. Since we have a season mooring pass we can stay here prepaid.  The scenery is beautiful, Abby likes her walks on the island and Debbie can behave herself and not try and do too much so the wrist heals well.
We saw Echo Beach on the AIS and called Mike on the radio.  They were trying to anchor on the other side of Endymion but had no luck so they came over and tied to a mooring ball near us.  I gave them a hand getting their line through as they were having a hard time.  These are not the easiest mooring balls to use as there is no pendant attached.

We ended up with the mooring ball closest to shore and I took the boat pole and sounded in our swing radius.  The water is so clear it looks shallow but there was nothing under 8' feet in the swing radius even right up to shore.
Mike and Roberta from Echo Beach came over for cocktails and to catch up on the news since we last saw them in Brewerton.  Good to see them both. Another episode of Homeland and off to bed. Goodnight.
Taken about 6:00 AM the moon is still out and we are very close to shore.

You can almost touch the rocks


Close enough?  Still in 8 feet of water
