The avian species are starting to come back from summer vacation. There were a couple of flocks of geese, seagulls, a night heron, and an osprey or two. Conditions were lovely, even calm enough for paddle boarding out in the Severn. The water is still warm but there are tendrils of autumn about.

What a lovely day. Air temp in the sixties and water in the eighties. A little green heron called out from horn point as I rowed out from the beach.

Still, warm, uneventful row until I caught the Naval Academy launch sneaking up on me. I stopped behind the buoyit generally turned around and got hit by a big complicated wave as it made the turn.
But later on I saw a cow nosed ray.

I was assigned to one of the older OC6 boats with some novices, some club members, and some out of town club members. We were out for about an hour.

One cormorant, two ospreys, no dolphin. Why are they hiding from me?

The sea state was okay but the breeze was steadily building so I turned back at marker 5 and beat into a pretty hefty wind.

Sunday we motorsailed through the c&d to overnight anchored behind Reedy Island in the Delaware River.
Monday a sunup we motorsailed east to Cape May, had to go around into the Atlantic due to mast height.
Wednesday motorsailed north to Barnegat Inlet.
Thursday morning the windlass motor packed it in after ten feet of chain and we spent a couple of hours rewiring it. That began our twenty three hour, one hundred forty six mile overnight to Block Island.
Saturday transited Block Island to Cuttyhunk in the Elizabeth Islands of Massachusetts (God's Country)
Sunday we transited from Cuttyhunk Island across Buzzards Bay to Sippican Bay near the Cape Cod Canal. Beautiful territory.
More to come.
