Wednesday July 25th


We started out the day by fixing the water pump.  It had been pumping although no water was being demanded, so it sounded like a leak somewhere.  Couldn’t find any leaks and traced the problem to a piece of dirt in the pump.  We like nice easy problem to fix! 
No wind today, so we motored to Prescott, 44° 42.59N 75° 30.63W.  On the way we noticed an island with dead trees full of birds looking like sculptures.  We went for a bike ride and discovered a windmill that had been converted to a lighthouse on the the site of an 1812 battle between the British and Canadian rebels.   About 100 yards from our berth there was an open air performance of Bill Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, so we got take away pizza, a couple of beers and watched the show.  It was great – modernized a little with a couple of up to date songs and all in all an excellent performance.  The timing was great – it started to rain just after the performance ended.
