Morning SUP before work. Little Magothy Inlet marks to LM tour. Snowy Egrets, Green Heron, Great Blue Heron, and a Bald Eagle! Then some maintence on the trimaran - replaced the leaking fuel tank. Finished the washdown kit by adding a hose storage tube. Used to wash out the storage areas in the cockpit while changing the tank.

Finished cleaning the trimaran using the portable washdown kit (I'm loving this invention…). Took an afternoon sail with Dan and Erin, across the Bay and back. Good times.

Maintenance Day. Finished the functional parts of my portable washdown system, and tested it by starting to clean the carpet of seagull poo that had been laid down on the trimaran. Pump works great, very helpful given there is no running water at the pier, and I don't want the extra weight permently installed on the boat!

Morning SUP before work. Took a different path by heading out to the Magothy River channel. There I was treated to hanging out with a pair of Bald Eagles on the Green mark near a vacated Osprey nest. Caught the Pride of Baltimore still anchored off Gibson Island. Short Little Magothy tour to finish. Firday night YCCSC race on Greg's Liberty. Another light-ish night, but a good result!
