Got through a few BBC podcasts. Chicken neckers were thick on the river.
Century Club: Ben Clark
Took a big clockwise loop out in the river between the bridges. Truncated, but there was no reason to stay out longer. Small craft advisory and 15kt winds and my boat is so small, and grammar is so unimportant these days that I might as well end a sentence with the word "preposition."
Put 100nm under the Hobie this year, according to the gps.
No fish were harmed. Drawbridge run.
It is 87 at 8am, so I am opting to stay inside with the air conditioning instead of kayaking up to the bridge and melting like the German officer at the end of Raiders.
I took Orla up to Sandy Point Park and she fired up okay and after a few minutes warming up it was off to the Bay. I headed down to Annapolis, which was a choppy ride but I did see Stanley Norman under full sail, along with both Woodwinds. Then I went south a bit, and took her across to the airport in Stevenville, but nobody was running the pattern, so I went north through the east channel and then west to Podickory Point, and then a slow ride back to the boat ramps, with a detour at the lighthouse,
Went up to the new peeler just past the Rowe Bvd bridge. Very sticky, but hotter days expected to come this weekend.
