I couldn't help but put Sophie in the water on this beautiful day. Note first and second human passengers ever on Sophie.

As close to perfectly calm as I've ever experienced on the Severn. Lots of geese noise as well as passing seagulls and ospreys.

Pilot boat returning to Back Creek
The towers, just before sunrise
Just before sunrise
First Osprey of 2024!
Sort of calm, but the wind was aligned perfectly with the upper Severn so over near the Academy it got unexpectedly sporty where it was dead flat over by Horn Point.
The same rafts of diving ducks and the odd seagull overhead. Back on land I heard then spied the first osprey I've noted this year. I got a picture but it just a dot up in the sky.
I also got a picture of the pilot boat coming back from Annapolis Roads but it is not very discernable in the pic.

Calm with light winds and a ripping ebb tide this morning. There were seagulls overhead and many rafts of little diving ducks.

It was a beautiful sunrise, clear, in the mid-forties with no breeze and an ebb tide. A couple of geese flew by and I could hear raccoons squabbling on the shore near Horn Point as I rowed out of Eastport.
I noticed there were some YPs missing from their basin and later on I spied them coming home from the Bay.

Lovely morning for a row. Scores of single seagulls crisscrossing overhead and geese honkin gin the distance.

Nice and sporty this morning. The wind came up a bit with sunrise and there were just the barest whitecaps out in the Severn. I saw a heron fly by, the seagulls where talkative and gregarious, and there were flocks of ducks heading in all directions. Spring must be coming. Sophie didn't mind the waves at all.

Put in at Annapolis Maritime Museum on a very low tide with 14 kt wind and waves heading straight at the beach. It was 32f so I had to stop a couple of times and warm my hands up. Sophie could care less about the waves, she did fantastic.

Sailed a Beneteau 48 out of Conch Charters in Road Town, Tortola to the local islands as well as Anegada.
We had rough seas and rain. SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE hit 10.1 kts with two reefs in on the way to Anegada, where we sat out the worst day on a mooring ball.

Blowing 15-20 in the Severn so rowed up the creek. The wind still made it a good workout. Rowed past a big raft of Canada Geese and I think I saw the eagle atop the Moyer Park water tower.
