Slightly abbreviated route this morning due to some rower abrasion TMI but lovely calm weather with gulls, cormorants, and jumping fish. And lots of paddle boarders. Thanks to Duffy for the sunrise shot.

Tall waves but not too much wind. The southward fleet is starting to gather int the Horn Point anchorage.
It was a bit too bumpy to head into the Severn this morning so I went up the creek.
First off, all the fish and birds are back from vacation, lots of ducks and gulls and cormorants. Second there were many boats heading out of port. I expect many of them are heading to get a choice spot for the skipjack race this afternoon.
Only modicum of insanity out in the Severn this afternoon. Got to watch Joel White Havens and Herreshoff 12 1/2s running around. There was a black backed gull sitting on marker 4 which is a sure sign the ospreys have left the coop.
Well it's getting to that time of year. I didn't see or hear and ospreys. And all the fish have gone somewhere for Labor Day as well.
Starting to see foraging fish at the surface in schools.
There was a scheduling conflict at the maritime museum this morning so I went to the end of Chester Ave. Light winds and not much current. Mallards, terns, and gulls. A couple of small jumping fish. Just the one osprey who lives on Marker 4.
I drive down Chester to the maritime museum and I had to Ford a legit body of water past Davis Pub.
The Severn was bumpy and I thought the wind might be building so I turned back at marker 5.
All sorts of seagulls around but I didn't notice any other wildlife.
Another lovely morning. A low cloud bank starting out but the sun climbed as it does and I rowed back from #4in the sunlight.
That mint green ketch in the anchorage off Horn Point has six or a dozen crows on the mainmast spreaders having a very heated exchange at 6:30 in the morning. Must have been fun to wake up to.
