The season has probaby ended. What started as a dribble as I left (the finally repaired) dock gathered force. I turned back, and as I got out of the kayak, the repair gave out. With water temperature just about 50 degrees, discretion was the right decision. Rick might try to fix it, but days like today will not come often.

Very windy today. I caught a flume ride on the wind and current into the entrance to Crab Creek this morning (if you go to the right of the red channel marker). The tide was even lower than yesterday's.

But a full moon is coming. Breezier than I bargained for. Crab Creek to the South River today.

My least favorite time of year -- putting Calypso to bed for the winter. Stripping stuff off, clearing stuff away, cleaning up.

A nice calm day for a Heron ride. Swung by the Rhode River to say hello to friends rafted up there (Whisper, Arcturus, Timeless) and then on to Stan & Joe's. On the way back, we pulled a Melges 24 off the shallows after they'd grounded themselves soundly. Good deed done.

M R Geese. I guess the ducks have flown south, while the geese are waiting for a runway to open. Or maybe they're staying. I don't know from migratory waterfowl.

Waterfront trees are still predominantly green, save some tenacious yellows, oranges and reds. Breezy paddle on the creek today.

Back from California and Illinois, welcomed by blustery weather. Finally nice today, albeit breezy. Creek crawl.
