Amos Garrett Waterfront Park in Annapolis, Maryland, rain off and on all day, I considered skipping today, but around 4:00 o'clock I decided to risk it and put in, wind was almost still, phone said 0 to 4 mph and 50 degrees and I was able to mostly miss the rain.  I stopped to talk to a guy living on his boat anchored in the creek, we talked for about 20 minutes.  Lots of Christmas lights on the piers, it was quite festive, it was dark and raining when I finished.

Warehouse Creek Public Landing on Kent Island in Stevensville, Maryland, launched off of the pier and paddled south, then east and back, then south again and then back to the pier, wind was vaiable at about 7 mph from the Southeast and the temperature was 44 degrees.  My hands got cold even with gloves on. 

Warehouse Creek Public Landing on Kent Island in Stevensville, Maryland, wind was 13 mph from the South and the temperature was 48 degrees so I went south to get out of the wind, I was successful at getting out of the wind but it was a little cilly outhere anyway.

Amos Garrett Waterfront Park in Annapolis, Maryland, paddled to the Yacht Basin and was heading north into Ego Alley when I noticed some dark clouds to the north, turned around and headed back to the Park, thought about ditching the kayak somewhere and walking back to the truck, but figured either way I was going to get rained on, so I kept going on the water. Thought I might make it but I got rained on during the last 10 to 15 minutes.  Started out as light rain but it got a little heavier, did not have my rain gear on, got a little wet, oh well, I'll live.  Fortunately it was 55 degrees and wind was 10 from SSW and mostly blocked by the shoreline.
