The mallards scurrying away from me faster than I could catch up.
The darkening clouds should have been a clue.
The Weather Channel indicated no rain until after 6 so at 3:30 I put my kayak in to paddle to the other side of the creek and just look at some waterfront lots for sale. Right when I got to the other side of the creek across from the marina it began to sprinkle. Not too worried I decided to slowly meander toward home, taking the scenic route back. About 15 minutes later the skies opened up and it began to pour. I skeddadled my way back to our beach but I got soaked anyway. So only a 35 minute paddle. About 70 degrees out but no sun obviously. Saw some mallards that wanted nothing to do with me on the way.
