  • Ice breaking out past Indian Landing
  • Someone lost their floating mat
  • Mouth of the Severn River, gett
  • Annapolis on a beautiful chilly Sunday morning.

I spotted something on the eastern shore of the Severn River as I was crossing the Rt. 50 bridge and decided to take a look by boat.  It was a beautiful sunny morning with just a thin sheet of ice as I was heading out.  I did find a fairly large floating mat though it was in a spot that was way too shallow to retrieve.  Nice day, the swells coming off the bay were really starting to grow and the wind picked up.

  • Heading down the Severn River
  • Heading out of Ego Alley w/ a few of my Mallard friends.
  • Nice sunset over Little Round Bay.

I really enjoy an afternoon run to Annapolis.  Might be the last Thursday run for a while as a cold front approchase the area.

  • A little ice on my way out to Annapolis
  • Exiting the Narrows upper Severn river
  • Annapolis approaching sunset

Headed out to enjoy a very sunny January day trip to Annapolis.  I bit of very thin ice was no issue but sure sounded interesting.  Very calm day, it is so much fun to see all the homes obscured by leaves during the summer.  Annapolis is always beautiful but sunset it pretty spectacular.

  • Discovery Village Boat Ramp
  • Departing Parish creek
  • WRYC on Cadle creek
  • Just off of Camp Letts
  • Carr's Wharf Boat Ramp

What a great time to start boating in 2024.  Towed "Lil' Stinker" down to Shadyside to try out the free boat ramp.  Nice simple ramp with easy access to the West River.  Enjoyed a blustery trip accross the West river into the Rhodes river and several of the tributaries.
