66 degree air temperature was too tempting to pass up, so spent nearly an hour on the kayak on the Severn's Round Bay right before & after sunset. Only saw one boat -- plus one fox, a heron, and two ducks. wind 2 mph from the SW made for glassy conditions, and with the water in the 40's and the air in the 60's it made for interesting air temps, changing up and down all the time. Glassy water!

Great kayak trip starting right after sunset. The only wakes were mine, since there were no other boats around, and the water was mirror-like until my kayak cut right through it. 55 degrees air temp and zero wind. Only other living thing I saw was two Heron, one fishing on Arden beach and the other flying overhead. Wonderfully quiet, serene, and contemplative.

Normally I don't kayak when there are still traces of snow on the ground, but with weather in the high 50's, I just had to. Took a sunset ride on smooth water in Valentine Creek, which luckily was in the lee of the 13-15 mph winds that were coming from the South. My arms and shoulders were letting me know that it had been seven weeks since I'd been on a kayak; hopefully winter is about to release her icy grip and I'll soon be able to kayak every day.

Was great to get out for an evening kayak ride on the 2nd day of 2021, starting at 4:45 p.m., so was able to catch sunset while it was stil pretty warm out (~49). On Valentine Creek, well up the Severn, there were only two other boats out, so with only 5 mph winds from WNW, it was wonderfully smooth water. A great way to start the year!
