I started out using my usual bearing this morning and almost ended up at the Naval Academy. The tide was supposedly low at 5:39 this morning but it was nearly to the deck of the AMM dock despite that. Very short chop but as usual Sophie could care less.

I spent a week in the mountains and got out of practice. Forgot to check the weather before going out. It was a wee bit bumpy but Sophie didn't care.
Notable wildlife: a black-backed gull was eating an eel in front of Horn Point Marina's bulkhead. A few minutes later I saw the museum's resident snake so it wasn't her.

It has been months since I've been out before sunrise. Or rather the sunrise is coming back to the time I row.
Calm conditions, I was past the yp basin before the dawn launch departed. No other boats moving.
Back at Horn Point Marina there is a pair a adult black crushed night heron and they have a pair of brown streaked subadults with them.

Top speed this morning, 3.63 mph sog. Navy launch snuck up on me but I heard it in time. Don't know if they would have yielded to me or not.

Intervening trips will be added but this one had a good title. We got rained on unexpectedly. Also got to hear on VHF 16 Carnival Pride chastising a sailboat they were about to run over while heading north to Baltimore in a very Boston accent.
