Morning paddle, hunting season open and hunters doing their thing. Into Little Magothy and then to Gibson Island East side to avoid hunters, up shore a bit and then to CSC shore, along shore to LM pier and then back out to channel marks. Took a morning relax drifting on the board and watching the crab boats pull traps.
Before work. Along Cape St Claire shore to Deep Creek mark and back, into Little Magothy to pier. Wind built in LM for a good upwind sprint. Back out to inlet markers and to beach. A bit chilly but warm with the morning sun! Lots of Buffleheads and Mallards.
Before work with Greg. Winds still strong but now from westerly direction. Tour of Little Magothy, mostly stayed to western shore to stay in wind shadow, but did have sections of good upwind sprints, a few downwind spots.
Beginner downwind! Winds mid 20s from SE with gusts higher meant Little Magothy lined up perfectly for a beginning try at SUP downwinding. Two cars, put in at Little Magothy park and went downwind to Little Magothy pier with a car at each location, did it twice. Not enough fetch for real waves, but great fun and great way to learn for doing a bigger run!
Morning paddle, Little Magothy tour with Greg. Grabbed floating tire from water and brought to shore to dispose of. Saw that the fish we've been seeing in the LM are rockfish.
Morning paddle, Little Magothy tour. Cloudy and water not clear from all the rain. Large fish hanging near surface in various locations around river - couldn't see them but startled them with paddles.
Morning paddle with Greg, Little Magothy tour. Cloudy with decent breeze from South, good upwind workout. Rain started as neared LM pier.
Before work - Crossed over to Gibson Island, a bit on the shore, then back across to Cape St Claire shore near point, back to Little Magothy and to beach.
Before work - Little Magothy tour with Greg, then out to end of LM inlet markers and back. Very calm, LM was like glass.
