Beautiful blue skies greet the Blue Angels in Annapolis. Got to the sh#t show that was the viewing area aboard Heron; back to the dock on Whisper. It's amazing there was no carnage. Terrific show!

There's been a creature thrashing around in our cove off Crab Creek. It's like a cul de sac here, and this beast splashes around, making a big ruckus near the shore and under docks. I'd thought it was otters -- same them in France. But today I saw a long serpent-like body just above the surface. I didn't see the head. It's been suggested that it's a snakehead, but this is more like a snake body. Will try to get a photo.
Beautiful morning from Crab Creek into LIttle Aberdeen. Light breeze but high tide.

After a busy, busy 4 days, it was great to just be out on the calm waters, chilling.

Sister Anna, niece Alex and husband Sam in town for Terps baseball, so we went to Mike's for crabs and then a South River cruise on Heron.

Sore and stiff from tennis, but it felt great to be back on the court. It made the walk to the dock a little rough, but I made it. Dead calm to start, but the wind is building.

It seems endless.
The next days' weather looks un-promising, and I'm going to attempt tennis tomorrow, so this is it for a few days. Pushed on to Little Aberdeen Creek. All the osprey attempting to establish residence on the boats on the South River between Crab and Little Aberdeen Creeks seem to have been evicted. For now.

After a week of hedonism, I'm back to my home waters. It's Monday, so the weather is axiomatically nice. The coming days don't look great, so I'll get out on the water when I can.

I was going to name today's log entry "Pollen Soup." But then I saw a pair of large turtles in Crab Creek diving and flipping around. One of them approached me in my kayak, staring me down. I blinked first, and pushed away when it got within 10 feet of me.
Breezy today, so I stayed in Crab Creek. It's my 5th day in a row, which is just as well, since there won't be much kayaking next week.
