The forecast was for very little wind - and truly there was very little wind - certainly not enough to go out and sail, so I went about the chore of waxing the hull using the paddle board. Took about three hours - a tough job on the paddle board - one hand holding yourself close to the boat, the other hand applying and wiping off the wax.  The wind was picking up at 2:30 when I was finishing up and I briefly considered heading out for a quick 1 hour sail... but instead decided, since the paddle board was blown up and ready to go - to instead explore Davis Creek a bit.

Got ready and headed out away from Lankford Bay Marina to the far shore where the wind was a bit blocked by the trees and began exploring,  Found a few little coves that I didn't know existed - one which might be nice in a real strong blow from the northwest... it seemed to have enough depth for Bubbles (3.75 foot draft). Saw a beaver swimming. It was a nice way to stretch out all the muscles used when waxing the boat,  explored for about an hour and a half - very lovely back in the creek!
