Alan and I went out on the Kiwi Kruzer into the Potomac. Shut the engine off and floated while we read and Alan napped. Perfect way to spend an afternoon. Execept when we came back, and put the cover on the boat the boat floor was so hot it made it almost impossible to stand or crawl on it as I have to do by going under the cover and put up the rigid stays that hold to cover aloft. It was 96 degrees out, felt like 115, but the temp under the boat cover had to have been pushing over 150.

Proof that I really was out on the sailboat
Alan at the helm
Sunny day
Cormorant convention
Alan and I sailed to the Potomac in quite windy conditions, but in the river it was very choppy,, didn't like it too much. But it was a beautiful sunny day and that was very nice. Alan says I'm not made to be a sailor. Yeah. I get pretty anxious when there are white caps on the water.

Paddled out to meet up with Alan who was coming in on his sailboat. Beautiful day. Warm, minimal humidity. Makes you forget the horrid days of July.

Flounder fjord
Mirrored trees
Cormorant sunning himself
Heading home. Our house is in the distance there.
Back home today, 4.5 hour drive. Kayaked to the other side of the creek to Flounder Fjord. Lots of herons, cormorants. Water was so still it mirrored the trees above it.

Off we go
Nice to have friends who own houses like this.
Partial selfie. Alan is behind the windshield on the right.
Out in our friend's inboard/outboard boat which really zipped along. Cool, cloudy day, actually got rather chilly on the water. Explored the north-east side of the lake. Checked out a house some other friends are building waterfront.
