6/27: Fishing in Ridout Cr. No bugs. No plastic. Nice evening out.

6/28: Paddled down Whitehall to Minnow Cr. Picked up some plastic wrappers and misc plastic along the shoreline. A few boats out.

6/29: Paddled up Whitehall past the marina. Found one piece of plastic. Wind S@10-15 made it a bit more challenging to paddle back.

6/30: Paddled to Minnow Cr and picked up several pieces of plastic. Saw an eagle. Several sailboats anchored in the creek.

7/1: Paddled up Ridout Cr. Talked with Kevin. The ospreys don't seem to have many chicks this year.

7/2: Lux work day 1 - rebedded the forward locker latches.

7/6: Paddled up Ridout Cr. One powerboat out. No people outside - 88F today - they're probably inside staying cool. One osprey nest has a chick.

7/7: Paddled to Minnow Cr. Picked up several plastic wrappers. Startled a big fish at one point. Looks like an algae bloom in the creek.
