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.
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.
Took the Kiwi Kruzer as close to the top of Mattox Creek as we could as there were less jellyfish there and floated on our floaty chairs. Beautiful out, wonderful day.
Friends came down for a few days and we took the Kiwi Kruzer to see the sights of Colonial Beach. Hot and humid day. Lots of smoky haze from Canada.
The jellyfish are terrible this year around the creek (and the whole Potomac I hear) and the grandkidss are coming this weekend, I wanted them to enjoy the water. So I developed a jellyfish barrier to put around our little beach. Needed the kayak to install it as there were a zillion jellyfish out there just waiting to get me in spite.
Short kayak to party cove while Alan paddleboarded.
Paddled from our house across the creek following 6 swans. They wouldn't let me get too close.
Took a great tour of the lake and headed back to Don and Jan's house just at sunset. Gorgeous out.
Our friends on Smith Mountain Lake took us on their boat to the waterfront restaurant Jakes. Great ride.
