Rowed over the Severn in a short chop from the northwest that pushed the boat much more than the full flood, but not enough to be unpleasant. Still quite a few cormorants and an osprey flew right over me since I'm just a big sea bird with spruce wings flapping. It's cool today but the water is about sixty Fahrenheit so I'm writing this standing in the water just off the beach.

High tide and a little wind from the NW so I had an easy ride back to the creek. Just a wee bit lumpy with competing rollers from the wind and tide, enough to make it interesting.

A bit sporty today with a flood tide and the wind behind me as I crossed the Severn from Back Creek. There was a group of a dozen or more cormorants floating at the mouth of the creek. Had to cut the corner of my route to dodge a YP again.

Very calm and summery out there. Passed the LADY SARAH as she picked up passengers to see the naval vessel that's out in the Bay. Some jellyfish not many, and a few ospreys and cormorants, mallards and Canada geese.

Lovely flat seas and no YPs. The ospreys and cormorants were out in force and I saw one jellyfish, one sailboat, and one fishing vessel. Also clear water, estimated secchi depth 2.5'.

A wee bit cool but no wind and some glass smooth rollers from Kent Island. This was Finley's first time out of the creek.

The wind was said to be low according to the cbibs buoy but kicked up five knots as I put the boat in. There were blanket clouds and a few white caps outside of the lee of greenbury point. I thought I got out early enough to miss the yps but they had the same idea.

There was a bit of a blow this morning. Rowed up Back Creek and visited the migrating Canada Geese hanging back there.

Picture perfect day. The water was a little warmer than the air and the tide was on a slight flood. The recent rains hadn't deterred the Lions Mane jellyfish. There was an osprey couple carrying branches the Back Creek #5. The YPs were making a lot of squacking but nobody sortied over me as I made for the yellow "A" buoy.

Dodging showers and the YPs this morning I got to do my full route. Saw a bit more of the Osprey. Gentle flood, mostly cloudy and very little wind.
