In the mid 90s. Super humid and windy. Kayaked across the creek, saw a family of baby ducklings but the wind was bouncing me around so much it was hard to get a decent pic.

View from our deck
In the 80s but humidity is down. Went out for a kayak around 2, water was calm, but more boats than usual so a lot of wake. Forgot my phone so just grabbed a pic from our deck.

White feathers collecting in the marsh
The water trail
Catching some osprey in the trail
I was able to go in pretty far.
Kayaked across the creek to check out the marsh there. Since it was closer to high tide I could go on the water trail aways. It's pretty cool in there, but I'm always afraid of giant spiders jumping on me. The past few days I've been seeing a ton of white feathers floating on the water. Either baby birds are molting or some white bird met it's demise our there on the water somewhere.

Swans, saw 8 total all together.
Friend Michelle
Toward the Potomac
Weather looked pretty ominous out there and I was debating whether to go out or not, but friend Michelle texted me tomeet up with her so we did in middle of the creek. Paddled out to the Potomac and back to party cove. Lots of black clouds but no rain or thunder so all in all nice day out on the water. Saw swans. Not a single boat out.

Suspect clouds
Heron, he actually let me get pretty close before he flew off.
My eagle.
Paddled out to see the usual suspects; the eagle was out as were the herons and swans. Was exploring flounder fjord when I heard thunder and high tailed it home.

Fun in the sun.
Took the Kiwi Kruzer out with visiting friends Patti and Dale, brought lunch, beers and spend a very nice afternoon on the water. Did get gas over $250.00 ouch, def an advantage to sailing. Don't worry, I didn't drink any beer thus was the designated person to get us home. But Alan fired up the margaritas maker once we were back.

The boat chasing me
Yep I'm in a kayak
Duck blind
Channel marker 6
Around 86 degrees in the afternoon, far better than the high 90s of past weeks. Out to channel marker 6 and the abandoned duck blind, owned now by the osprey. Paddled into the wind going out, essentially surfed back home on the waves. Was chased by a big boat on the way back but I beat them.

Finally a break in the weather from our near 100 degree days. Alan and I ventured out on the creek to check out the eagles, only got one blurry picture, saw swans, geese, lots of fish jumping. Very nice out.
