After almost a week of grandkids everyone has gone and I had a leisurely paddle to the other side of the creek looking for the eagles. They were a no show, I wonder if they're gone for the year.

Alan at the helm. I sailed some of the way.
There we are!
Fair winds ahead!
Went with Alan on his boat around the creek. Not alot of wind but enough to get us from point A to B. Very nice day, low humidity, in the 80s.

Took each grandkid out on the kayak in afternoon. No camera. They played on the beach and water and all got stung by jellyfish. Sigh, august.

On floaty chairs just before we kayaked.
Friend Michelle took Logan out in the water to play. We had to watch out for jelly fish.
Took my grandaughter, who is visiting for 4 days out for a windy kayak. Hurricane Debby is bearing down on us and there was lots of wind and choppy waves. Thought there'd be storms and rain but they were a no show. Didn't bring my phone on the voyage so will show pics of our beach time just prior to getting out on the water.

My adult beverage, wasted on this trip
Got a pic of Alan on the sailboat before I went around the bend.
His precision sailboat
100 degrees out. I'd rather be in the water than on it. But, the flag on our dock was barely fluttering so I went out on the kayak with an adult beverage anticipating a leisurly watery happy hour, while Alan decided to go out for a sail. He headed east, I went north to go around Wirts Wharf and was accosted by northern winds stronger than I've ever encountered before. I paddled hard into the gale force winds to the other side of the creek while the waves were sending spray over and into the kayak! Really? The kayak? I made it to the other side of the creek but I couldn't even get a sip of my drink battling the wind and waves, white caps were everywhere, worse Ive ever seen while kayaking. .Couldn't even take a pic I was so busy trying not to die, keeping the kayak upright and avoiding the rocks along the shore. Paddled back around the bend and then calm, flat water, mild breeze. Go figure. I do not understand wind. Now I'm on the deck drinking my well deserved adult beverage. I'm still sweating

Hot and ....
Windy
Blurry pic of ducklings
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.
