Trip dates: 
Friday, April 10, 2026
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Kayak/canoe/rowboat

Chores on board and a several rowing stints in the dink, one out to the point where the forecast 5 kn southerly was more like 15, gusting 20.  The creek was full of bug life (not too mention ospreys) and if these are not mosquitoes, then I don't know what they are. RAINBOW was full of them.  I guess they are all males, because I received zero bites, even below with dozens of them flittering around.  Also: I thought wrigglers needed fresh water only, yet here are thousands of them in the brackish Magothy?
