Sailing to Duck Island. "Snake Island". Seeing if it lives up to it's name. Ep79

Ep79. In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we sail out into the middle of Lake Ontario to Duck Island, which has a reputation of being an Island completely infested with Snakes. We are doing this first trip to the Island to “Recon” it to see if it lives up to it’s reputation.
Janice’s wants to bring her Son Jake and Father Larry here to camp in a future weekend. They both love camping and Jake loves catching and playing with snakes. I am more of a “I don’t mind seeing snakes from a distance” kind of guy, so I am glad that weekend I will be sleeping on my boat and not in a tent on shore.

We recon it and it completely lives up to it’s reputation. On our first 2 minute walk on shore, I must have seen 6 snakes and you can hear them slithering through the long grass around you, even when you can’t see them. It is a bit creepy thinking that Jake and Larry will have to be walking to an outhouse in the middle of the night, in what appears to be a pit of snakes.

You will have to see the future episode to see how it all turns out. Again, I’m REALLY glad I get to sleep on the boat. Although many of these snakes are water snakes that swim through water. I watched one eating a fish. Yeeeesh!

We hope you enjoy this episode. Subscribe on Youtube so you don’t miss the follow-up episodes where we show you Jake in his glory chasing down, catching and holding large snakes in each arm.
