Kayak perch fishing with Chris on Little Magothy. Drifting and casting around piers and features around the shoreling of the Little Magothy. Good catch for dinners for two families.

Friday Night YCCSC Race. Singlehand. Storms in area but seemed clear at start. After start significant electrical storm developed over peninsula and Bay to Eastern shore. Storm was building over Magothy River. Sailed past first mark and headed to clear sky up Magothy River. Dropped sails and motored back to Little Magothy after it was clear strom was dissipating and heading East.
Before work. To Deep Creek, back to Little Magothy inlet marks. Very calm, hazy and humid. Lots of boats out fishing in the Bay.
SUP Before work. Little Magothy inlet marks to LM tour back to inlet marks.
Wednesday Night MRSA Race on F-27 with Dan. Light winds that went lighter. Only multihull out (although did see a Nacra-20 that I recognized that shadowed). Bottom very dirty again, a bit sluggish in the conditions.
Went crabbing for the first time on the Whaler. Set 9 traps and spin cast for perch in Deep Creek while letting the traps soak. Only ended up with three crabs but also caught good number of perch - all together made for a good family feast. Engine troubles again though, starting with a fuel line leak (repaired on the water) and ending with idle issues and ultimately engine wouldn't start when doing flush. Was able to nurse it through the crabbing a fishing but there's fixing to do...
Started out to do the Friday YCCSC race on the F-27, but fuel line problems prevented engine from starting on F-27. Replaced fuel fittings and fuel filter, and needed to wait for cylinders to dry out. By time started missed race and the wind was almost gone. Packed up and went for a SUP - to Deep Creek and back for sunset.
Evening SUP. Tour of Little Magothy with Greg.
