Morning SUP before work. New Black Project paddle! Out to Little Magothy Inlet marks, to Magothy Inlet and Persimmon Point, then back to Little Magothy tour. Knee and back felt better, but maybe still a little weak in the chop. New paddle feels good, the pace for the whole circuit was very consistent, which was an interesting difference, but could also be attributed to it beng slack tide.

East of Maui Social SUP. Testing out how the twisted knee and lower back are feeling, maybe in prep to see if Bay Bridge Paddle is a good idea. Twisted knee again keeping board from falling off of the car, unsure if doing the race is a good idea.

Floating Man! Scored an invite from a friend for the annual Floating Man gathering on the James River. Event started Thrusday Night, but I got there Friday. Missed the Friday float, but joined in for Saturday. Wonderful day on the river with 21 other kindred souls. Some drifting, some paddling, some fishing, some rapids, and a lot of comaraderie. Caught a Long-Eared Sunfish, and three Smallmouth Bass, one of which was about 12 inches. Campfires at night, cooking over the fires, and visiting the Tavern on the James. Hope to be back for next year.

Pungo for some perch fishing around the Little Magothy. Caught and released around ten. Tested out the gear, back, and knee for going to Floating Man later in the week. Seemed good…

First sail of the season for Tri-Pawed! Got the bottom cleaned and the motor running. Friday Night YCCSC race with Greg, Dan, and Chip. Great night, great fight for honors, second over line for third place. Ran maxi-blade jib, took a little time to get the cars positioned right, lost ground until we got that right. Majorly twisted and re-injured my right knee during a tack.

Sunday SUP, F-27 maintenance, and Whaler trip. To Lake Claire Green, and back to half-tour of the Little Magothy, Met neighbors along the way on the water and stopped for chats. Nice morning on the water. Tested my inflatable PFD belt - interesting exercise. Then worked on F-27 outboard, almost there. Then launched Whaler for a sunset ride with the kid.
