Me, that is.  Hot and humid morning for a paddle to Church Creek.  Slightest of breezes kept it from being oppressive.

Not a promising weekend for sailing, so we took out Heron and made a run for the West River and Stan & Joe's for an early dinner.  Turned out to be a nice afternoon/evening for cruising around the rivers.

I found it suspiciously easy to go out of Crab Creek, into the South River, and then into Little Aberdeen Creek.  That's because the tide was running out, and my return trip was not quite the same.

But, just as I reached the dock, look who turned up!

A wild and wooly weekend for AYC's Cruise Fest parties in the Fairlee Creek area.  Un-summery weather, heavy rain, roaring winds.  What is happening!!?

The other day while out kayaking, I came upon what I thought was a large limb in the water.  As I prepared to push off it, I realized that it was in fact a large turtles gnurled head and neck.  Huge.  Since then, I've been looking for him (don't know why I assume turtles' prounouns are he/him/his....).  No luck today, but I came a across a little guy.

Didn't break 60 while I was out for a paddle this morning.  No complaints (so far).  Beautiful and clear.  Church Creek was the destination.

Rick's cousin Ronelia and her husband Joel were visiting from Montana, so we gave them the grand tour of the South River -- from Liberty Marina, to Crab Creek, to Thomas Pt. Light, and back.  Beautiful weather.  A little too much wake action, but I guess we're part of the problem these days.

We had a very sporty sail to arrive at Mill Creek.  Wind was westerly and gusty, but we tucked into a calm spot.  Coming back to the slip the next day was quite another matter.  West is BAD.  It took 4 tries, and we ultimately ended up going stern-to (not our usual), relying on the help of 2 dockhands and a cheering section on Georjabelle.  Whew!

Has there ever been a clear surface that could not be improved?  That's how I feel about the white expanse of my kayak's bottom.  That, together with an urge to buy souvenirs that don't take up space, I now embellish my kayak with stickers from my travels.  So cute.
