Chews Creek and the Chesapeake Bay reconnected today. Water fron the Bay was rushing into Chews Creek today. It was raining the first two times I went over to put in, but the third time it was only misting and or drizzling, so I went ahead and put in at the usual place along the road to South Beach in Tower Gardens. I had my poncho raincoat on, but still got wet. Fortunately the wind was only about 5 mph and temperature was 51 degrees.

Chews Creek, just off the Chesapeake Bay, launched off of the road to South Beach. The Creek is now a pond again and the water is low. I had to walk out in the mud to get to the water. Temperature 55 degrees and the wind from the NorthWest at 3 to 7 mph.

Oxford, Maryland, put in by Safe Harbor off of the Strand, paddled to Oxford Road and back. Went by Campbell's Marina at Jack's Point and Campbell's Town Creek Marina. Then started to leave Town Creek but time and distance were up. I wore my raincoat, but the rain held off for the time I was out there. Praise the Lord.

Eastern Bay, east of Kent Island, launch from the beach at Romancoke On the Bay Clubhouse. Paddled south to Cove Creek Marina and back, then north to the Romancoke Fishing Pier and back. Temperature was 51 degrees and the wind was 13 mph from the West Northwest, but the wind was pretty much knocked down where I was. It was smooth sailing so to speak.

Shipping Creek off of Eastern Bay, the Boat Ramp is off of Route 8, Romancoke Road. Wind speed was 16 mph from the South. Shipping Creek is pretty much North and South, but the boat ramp is on a prong that runs East and West, so when the wind is from the south the prong gets shielded from the south wind. I went in the morning because the forcast for the afternoon was for severe weather. Temperature was 59 degrees.

Went to Shipping Creek because the wind was from the SouthEast. Checked the Chesapeake Bay but some of that SouthEast wind had sneaked around the tip of Kent Island and was coming from the SouthWest causing some waves on the Bay. My usual spot on Chews Creek has turned to mud because the Creek and the Bay have merged again and as the tide goes out water on Chews Pond has dropped several feet causing mud at my usual spot, so off to Shipping Creek boat ramp, no mud there. Wind was 12 mph from the SouthEast and the temperature 53 degrees.
