Lovely perfect morning
Century Club: Greg Brennan
I put away the wetsuit for the season. It was breezy and lovely this morning. There are starting to be more boats coming and going, both sailing and fishing.
Not too bad out all things considered. Fairly warm but the chop was hard work.
I demod my new southwester hat with wool earflaps. That's going to be great next winter though I look like a village idiot.
Lovely warm Irish day. Saw a couple of Canada Geese and a cormorant.
Absolutely zero glide on the way out to yellow "A". One foot of oarstroke got me 0.90' of distance. Then blew downhill to #9 and turned home, which has some drift but wasn't as bad. Wind 13 - 22 straight out of Round Bay.
3-4' seas this morning. Quite a bounce on the uphill run. Lots of birds flying everywhere trying to get chores done before the rain.
Cold and breezy but nice low rollers on an ebb tide. Altered my normal course to try to catch back up to Pride on her way out of Annapolis.
It was a instrument flight rules day. Just clear enough to see marker to marker. Pairs of herons and ospreys are around, flights of cormorants (or maybe scoters) and moon jellies.
Used the circular saw to rip a couple of replacement longitudinals and new rubrails. Not a stellar effort.
It was bumpy but enjoyable out there. I quit a little early to let the ospreys at #4 have some peace. Fish have started jumping in the Severn.
