Sailing back to our house
Mattox creek
Sailed around the creek with Alan. Saw swans etc. Warm out but not overbearing. Beautiful day.

Alan paddleboarding with our house in the background
Very calm, no wind
Several swans live nearby
Sunken sailboat across the creek, been there for years. No one knows where it came from or who it belongs to
Kayaked across the creek while Alan paddleboarded. Less jellyfish probably from all the rain we had yesterday. Went to look at the sailboat that had sunk and to find the swans. Very calm day, cooler but still humid.

Late afternoon kayak on the creek. Went up to flounder fjord and followed some swans to their nest. Beautiful out.

Patti and I on Mattox Creek, trying to outrun Alan and Dale in the sailboat
Kayaking with my friend Patti around the creek. We couldn't get the kayaks back on the dock as the jellyfish were out of control. Will have to wait until low tide.

Me looking over the river
Got back on the water after a week in Texas babysitting the grands. Some friends came down and we took the Kiwi Kruzer out to the Potomac and to Dockside for some orange crushes. I fell in the water while trying to pull up the ladder, fortunately I scared the jellyfish more than myself, they scurried away and I didn't get stung.

On our beach
The captain has help with the boat on the Kiwi Kruzer
Our 3 grandkids came for the weekend. Took them out on the pontoon boat around the creek and the Potomac. Also trial of my jellyfish barrier. It worked but not 100%. At least the kids were able to swim and play in the water while the adults monitored the area with a fish net for any wayward jellies that snuck in. We still scooped out about 20 over a 3 hour time but outside the barrier there were 100s floating about. Dash one of our grands still got stung.

Put final weights on the barrier via my kayak. 100s of those little mothers out there. Hope this works.

Put more weights on my fence (mesh bags with rocks) via kayak and using my fish net removed about 15 little mothers ftom inside the barrier. Need a few more weights which will have to wait until tomorrow.

Sunrise, nothing to do with my barrier.
Spent many hours today trying to finish up my jellyfish barrier. Used the kayak to maneuver it in place. Created with pool noodles, garden fencing, zip ties and mesh bags with rocks to weigh the fencing down. Who knew plastic garden fencing floats? Had to come in finally as the sun was relentless. Will finish up tomorrow.
