This morning we started out for Sans Souci which had a city dock offered by the Chamber of Commerce. This extensive floating city dock system, with power stanchions and drinkable water faucets, was surprisingly virtually empty. Everyone says that the Canadian boating has been seriously impacted by the cost of fuel. We tied up there for a couple of hours and Tom went to the grocery store while I took several work conference calls. We also got a free tank of clean water before heading off for another night “on the hook”.
In the afternoon, we traveled to “the hole in the wall”, a place where there is a natural channel
80 feet deep between two high rock walls. Since the channel is narrow, it was hard to find riding along. Someone had gone to the trouble to paint a huge white smiley face on the ridge above the entrance to help other boaters find it.
Later we cruised around 
stone islands; we are in
We took a quick swim tonight up to the Shawanaga stone shelf which extended out into the clear water. We crawled like alligators up onto the stone from 4 foot deep water and laid in the sun for
a few minutes. (Sorry, no pictures because the camera was in the boat). There was a primitive fire ring higher on the rock that campers had created. The experience was genuine
assimilation of the Canadian rock shelf and the geological forces that were at work to create the islands. I did find a small rough sample of pink feldspair to bring home as a souvenir. Since the mosquitoes were finding us, we returned to the boat to cook barbequed chicken for supper.
