Bunch of stuff.
2nd coat of paint in the V-berth, clean-up in aisle Nine and battery charge. But I forgot my shop vac so I didn't make much progress on the other areas in need of help.
Launched a kayak for the first time in awhile. Pesky osprey kept circling the kayak, showing off its newly aquired lunch. I took a second and then third look and damned if the bird wasn't carrying a decent-sized shad! Either that or a whopper herring, but it looked more like a hickory shad. Anyway, I hope it was tasty and next time out I'll bring a rod and a few shad darts.
I just reread Thomas McGuane's The Longest Silence and it has given me a renewed appreciation of Catch-n-Release fishing.
Hmm...they do taste good though...
