I needed to take the porta-potty off of RAINBOW and also check a recently deceased club member's boat (R.I.P. Glenn!). The air temp had warmed up to a balmy 27 degrees and it was 31 F below decks on RAINBOW.
Of course, the potty had a big chunk of ice in it, but had not cracked (thank god).
Took a quick paddle out to Cedar Island and ate lunch with the nose of the 'yak on the beach. Somehow my approach to this spot went unnoticed by a huge, old Great Blue heron and the stupid thing launched, very noisily, from a nearby branch about 12 feet away from me. Almost needed a change of underwear...
