Crab Creek to Church Creek
Century Club: Eva Hill
We'll get a gorgeous August week (False Fall 1.0), then steamy days. Now that it's September, we've got another stretch of beautiful weather. But we know summer is not over.
Crab Creek to Little Aberdeen today.
Took a boat ride to Stan & Joe's for some crab picking.
I've been summoned for jury duty this week, but today's instruction was to not report. Instead, I reported to the kayak launch and paddled to Little Aberdeen Creek.
We'll see what the instruction is for tomorrow....
The Chesapeake Bay Sabre Association had a rendezvous set for Rock Hall, at Osprey Point Marina. Though the weather was gorgeous, the Bay was glassy, so we went by Calypso in what I call "tall trawler" mode -- motoring both ways. There was ultimately a little wind on Sunday, but not until we'd already gone under the Bay Bridge and were close to Annapolis.
The best of sailing season really starts now.
And a beautiful day for it. Crab Creek to Church Creek.
56 degrees this lovely August morning. 'Tis the season known as False Fall in these parts. I'll take it. Little Aberdeen Creek was this morning's destination.
A stormy and busy weekend had me wanting to stay in bed, promising myself that I would paddle tomorrow. But a check of the weather forecast threatened a small craft advisory for tomorrow, so I dragged myself out on the kayak. Worth the effort, as it is a beautiful morning with glassy calm water (all the better to see the tree limbs and logs lurking under the surface). An extended Crab Creek Crawl today, since I was curious about the new dock up one of the branches of the creek.
Rick's nephew and nephew's girlfriend came to town from Norfolk to sail, and for August, it sure delivered. Winds in the teens, waves to surf downwind -- it doesn't get better.
