Took the paddle board out on Assawoman Canal once the temperatures warmed up a bit. 50F, cloudy, with winds 13 mph from the NNW at time of launch (10:55 am). Definitely a bit of a work out heading out as the wind and current were against me heading to the Central Avenue bridge. Made for a very pleasant paddle back to the ramp.

Took the paddle board out on Bear Point Cove and opted to hug the Lee shore as the breeze made the paddle a bit more challenging. 75F, mostly cloudy, with winds 13 mph from the SE at time of launch (8:20 am). Always enjoyable exploring along the mangroves. Just one ray encounter but not able to catch a photo.

Got up a little earlier to walk the dog before sunrise. Took the paddle board out at Bear Point Cove. 73F, mostly cloudy, with winds 15 mph out of the SSE at time of launch (7:35 am). Didn't follow my typical route as it was a bit too breezy out near the abandoned pier and the Manatee sign. Stayed close to shore and got a good, uneventful paddle in. Fair number of anglers out as it is the weekend.

Took the paddle board out on Bear Point Cove this morning and there was a bit of aquatic excitement. 70F, mostly sunny, with winds 3 mph from the NE at time of launch (8:15 am). Still not sure if it was a snark or multiple rays but there was a sizeable disturbance on the surface of the water. Fortunately it didn't cause me to fall but unfortunately happened so fast that I couldn't grab a picture. Always fun on the board!
