Another beautiful day with a bit of sun, slack tide, and low wind. A few jellyfish but not much else in the way of critters.

UFO!
Slack tide, sun (ish), and 2kts of wind. I turned earlier than my usual buoy because A: the yps were signaling to exit their basin which is right next to said buoy and B: there was a strange black box floating off of Horn Point. That turned out to be part of one of those Lego-like floating docks.
Anyway I took some pictures today but they cannot compare to the experience of being out there.

Nice row with a fair bit of sun. Got on the water a little later than desirable so the wind had kicked up past 12k and there were three foot rollers coming from Kent Island. SOPHIE handled them without trouble.

Flat calm row again, this time with my first mate Finley. Heard at least one fish jump and saw a few jellyfish.

Flat as a board, clear to the river bottom, not a cloud in the sky, and no current. I saw about 500 black ducks as well. No jellyfish today because of the recent rain.

Really calm with a wicked flood tide. I ended up at a buoy 100 meters upstream of where I usually turn. Also the Severn is chock full of jellyfish. Just me and the pilot boat out there.

Lovely row in flat calm. Water 39f and air 31f. Had to cut off a corner of the course to stay out of the path of an YP on sortie.

Air and water temps still in the low forties. Tide was coming in fast with a west wind behind it which made for some big rollers and a lot of current pushing up the Severn. My phone, and thus tracking app, died at the mouth of Back Creek so ignore the last part of the route that flies in a straight line over Eastport.

High tide, low wind, and that great glowing orb in the sky again.
