Frustrating kayak ride. There's open water farther out in the creek, toward the mouth, but it's just too much trouble and too dangerous to try to reach it. At least for me. I bashed through some thicker stuff in the effort, but there was frozen stuff that was too thick and too narrow to get the 30-40 yards I needed to make a safe portage for the rest of the way. So I bailed.
The plan was to wait for the tide to come back in and then maybe there would be enough depth to proceed farther along shore. But with the flood came the rain and by 1530 hrs it was just too miserable to give it another go. Maybe on Saturday!
