Docked Mailboat

Went out last night to try and get the moon in shots. As you can see, no moon from this position. Actually, it was quite cloudy and I had to wait for quite a while for the moon to poke through the clouds. The boat is the Skaneateles mailboat. It actually delivers mail to the camps along the south end of the lake. They use a big net to hold the mail out to the people on their docks. People can go out on the mailboat to see the homes along the lake. Mid-Lakes Navigation also has a two decker boat which even has dinner cruises. Last night there was a full moon cruise which left about ten pm. The light on the mailboat on the right hand side comes from the big boat after it came in from the dinner cruise.
