Well, the forecast was for light - very light winds - and except for a few gusts that almost lured me out... the experts were correct. After attending to a few details, I decided to really fully explore 'Davis creek by paddle board. Headed down the creek towards the mouth. Really a beautiful area - lots of wildlife and beautiful homes. Fought a few gusts, but for the most part it was really fairly tame. Didn't get all the way to the beginning of the creek - but darn close. Near the beginning saw something I never had before - a very definite line in the water where heavily sedimented water - almost milky in color began and ran up to the beginning of the creek(see pictures).  Didn't see anything to explain it - a few houses, but they had been there a while. Guess this is where the lack of clarity in the bay starts! Wish I had been sailing, but at least I was on the water!
