Took the Whaler to my brother's marina, met him there and we went for a of day rock fishing on his Grady. Beautiful trip there and Fall foliage, excellent day fishing with brother. Not one fish caught…

Morning SUP paddle with Greg - paddled to Deep Creek, water still very clear. Even with tide low was able to get into Lake Claire, in clear water saw lots of fish including white perch.
Afternoon tour of Magothy with Abby on the Whaler, saw lots of nice Fall foliage, stopped near channel to Gibson Island and saw a variety of different comb and other jellies. Then to beach by Whaler for the YCCSC Awards get together.
Before work on birthday - With Greg, to Podickory Point and back. Very calm and beautiful Fall conditions, water still clear but not as it was. Saw fog bank enveloping Kent Island.
Before work - along Cape St Claire shore to Deep Creek Green mark, with Greg. Back to Little Magothy pier and back to beach. Water still very clear.
Before-work exercise paddle, along Cape St Claire shore to Deep Creek. The conditions this morning were unlike anything I've seen - the bottom could be seen with amazing clarity at and beyond 100 yards from shore, all along the Cape shore. Combination of slack low tide, no breeze, cooling water, and perhaps the view you get from a SUP. Could see the sea nettles hugging the bottom waiting for things to warm up. Saw Buffleheads for the first time this Fall. Did the lap and went in to Little MAgoty, met Greg and did the whole thing over again.
Sunset paddle on election day. Paddle to Deep Creek and back. Beautiful sunset. Now getting dark way to early…
Afternoon sail on Greg's boat. Up the Magothy, turned back as wind dropped. Radio called for intense front wave to pass through - didn't quite materialize, wind did pick up considerable by time reached Deep Creek.
Afternoon tour of Little Magothy. First wearing of the wetsuit!
Before work - Along Cape St Claire shore to Deep Creek Green mark, with Greg. Building wind from South. Back to Little Magothy, upwind sprint through inlet to pier and back to beach.
Before work - Little Magothy tour with Greg. Wind from NW light at start, but built. Upwind back to LM pier, then upwind with big chop out of inlet to beach.
