55 degrees and most, but not all, of the ice is finally gone. Could get past the Herald Harbor boat ramp today, which I couldn't yesterday, so that's progress. Ran into a sailing buddy also out on his kayak so we had a companionable time kayaking across the Severn and back. Felt like a cool fall day.

High 40's were enough to entice me outside. Could go much further than Tuesday, since the ice had melted all the way to the boat ramp.

Snow still covered our beach, but it looked like I'd be able to kayak around the edges of the ice floe stretching across Valentine Creek. Turned out not to be the case. Beyond the docks with bubblers I could not get through and had to come home.

Was around 50 degrees so went sailing for about two hours in the afternoon. Delicious to be sailing in January.

Nothing like getting one last sail in on a 50 degree-plus day once I finished wrapping presents and before we headed out for Christmas Eve dinner. Beautiful out there!

Went out with two guys on Sunday before Thanksgiving, right before driving to Dulles to get on a plane to London. Had winds of 8-12 knots; great to be out there with three of us!
