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.

Before work - Little Magothy tour with Greg, then out to end of LM inlet markers and back. Very calm, LM was like glass.
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.
