Set sail for Endymion, 44° 18.08N 76° 05.95W, one of the Canadian National Park
Islands. The winds were forecast to be
15 knots, but if felt like much more. We
couldn’t actually tell because a spider had built a cobweb on our anemometer at
the masthead. (It must have been a very
good cobweb to hold in those wind conditions.)
We tucked in a reef and enjoyed a very nice beat to the island. The cobweb finally blew away and we recorded
winds speeds of up to 25 knots. On the
way we spotted Tango again, steaming east with her mast stepped. Tried to radio her but then realized with her
mast down she wouldn’t have had a radio antenna. Arrived at Endymion, hoping to anchor, but
there didn’t seem much room due the National Park Docks, so we picked up a
mooring buoy, which at $20 per night seemed pretty good value, especially since
the wind continued to howl. Explored the
island, returned to the boat and did some planning for our next few week. Went for a swim in lieu of a shower, and
declared Friday night Happy Hour.
