Finally took the Kiwi Kruzer out for a spin since friends Don and Jan were visiting. Went down to Horsehead Cliffs and ate lunch on the boat but it was pretty rough out so we retreated deep in the creek where it was much calmer and sat in ourfloaty chairs.

Ducks off the dock
In his majestic glory
Both in this pic, the second one is a little hard to see
Non close up
Family of ducks right off our dock. Paddled over to the bald eagle nest across the creek. There they were practically in the same place they've always been. Very quiet in the creek until 2 noisy jetskis careened by disturbing my repertoire.

Alan home from the sea
Beautiful day to be out on the water. Paddled to the middle of the creek to the old abandoned duck blind, got a pic of the osprey nest there. Then spotted Alan returning home in his sailboat so paddled in circles until he got close enough to grab a few shots.

Sun is out!
The last 3 days have been windy and occ rainy, figures since we had house guests. Today everyone left just in time for the weather to be perfect. I kayaked over to the bald eagle nest but I didn't see them. But very nice day on the water.

Actually taken day before on a calm day
Lots of waves and wind. Went out by myself to other side of the creek into the wind. Return trip I sailed and surfed back in half the time. Ducks on the dock.

Interesting angle to the boat lift
Sailboat tied between our docks
Alan went sailing, returned and was putting the boat back on the lift when the cable broke. The lift had quite the tilt to it. He managed to get the boat off the lift and between his paddleboard and me in my kayak we got the boat tied between our dock and our neighbor's dock. So that was my day on the water.

My homebrew
Trailing Alan on his paddleboard
Beautiful evening
Swan and chick
Went out around 5:45 pm, very calm, only saw one other boat, Alan on his paddleboard and I in my kayak. I, it being Friday, of course had my adult beverage with me. Paddled to party cove and said hi to the neighbors. Saw a lone swan on the beach watching over her lone chick.

Saw them from far away at first
But was able to get closer
Calm beautiful day, very unlike the windy day yesterday
Majestic critters
Geese
Paddled toward burnt house cover where I saw the bald eagles a few weeks ago, sure enough they they were in the same place. Must be a nest there tho I couldn't see it. Ran into a whole gaggle of noisy geese too.

High waves, I was a rockin' about
Ominous clouds with rain
Creature out of the sea?
Pissed osprey
The day started off beautifully, so I put off kayaking until I checked the weather channel at 2pm which predicted a storm, so I dashed off into the sea to beat the weather. Of course, it got windy and rainy minutes after I ventured out. But determined to get my "day on the water" I paddled into the wind thinking it'll be a breeze on the return trip but of course by the time I turned around the wind had died and the sun came out. The creature on the other shore was laughing at me as were the osprey I disturbed by being too close to them.

Out for adventure
Paddled by myself to the marina. Calm winds until I turned the curve at Wirts Wharf, then pretty windy. Paddled past marker 11.
