Nothing like coming home, grabbing the paddle and life jacket, heading down to the dock and heading out on a kayak to forget about work and enjoy peace and beauty on the water.

I used the fast boat to move my old sailboat to a dock on the same river. The new owner is happy to not have to dinghy out to my mooring ball.

Duct tape is awesome. A slightly leaky canoe was temporarily repaired with duct tape and tested after a neighborhood dock dedication. Next step, silicone.

The fast boat won out this time over the kayaks. We explored Weems Creek to the shallows.

Sometimes it's great to just enjoy a short paddle in the kayak that's available.

A peaceful, quick paddle on my fast kayak ended poorly when I beached without retracting the skeg. This resulted in a bent cable that gave a permanent half skeg problem that took an hour to fix the next day.

In order to get the new rubber bumpers attached to the pilings, it was necessary to get in a kayak to reach the bottom section just above the waterline at low tide.

Four of us went down the Severn River on Sea Bear to try some fishing despite the weather. Dark skies aft came upon us quickly with a shower of hail and a massive decrease in visibility and rudder control. Thankful for a cabin to retreat to, the weather soon passed and we cast lines in hopes of a bite. Coast Guard announcements of a vague boater distress call at the mouth of the Severn put us in search mode. We never spotted any boater in distress nor did we catch any fish, but everyone had a great adventure.
