Did the long row this morning, despite the current. The wind was down a bit from yesterday, as was the temperature. Saw some fishermen, gulls, and pelicans. Back on the dock I spooked a Little Green Heron.

Lots of wind. I skipped rounding the island into the intercoastal waterway lest I end up in Myrtle Beach. It's very shallow on the south side of this dredge spoil island, with potential oyster bars and I would rather avoid finding out how Sophie's hull holds up to that.

Gosh, more wind and current than Sophie and I are used to. We just rounded the short island across from the house. I have to med-moor to the dock and it took me three tries to get the anchor in close enough to reach the dock. Ended up walking the painter to the dock's swim ladder.
Still. Beats working.

Humidity and fishing boats! First row down here to get the lay of the, er, land as it were. Just saw my second shrimper coming home from fishing all night.

Warm and flat and smooth and silent. There was a pod of dawn kayakers at the mouth of Back Creek and a couple of trot liners, and Tyrell fishing from the AMM dock after his overnight shift.

Clouds in the northern and wind and waves from the south. I was able to surf to buoy A off the YP basin. No big stinkpots to dodge on a Monday but a few balls of forage fish around and the ospreys were restless.

CBIBS is down so I had to eyeball the conditions. Breezy but I was grateful for it.

Went out on Wilma Lee with my parents, Christina, and her cousin Barbara. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves.

Sunrise
Maritime Museum Pier
Black Crowned Night Herons on Bow Pulpit
Second Sunrise?
Wind up a bit, making a nice long swell as the tide was flooding back up creeks. I saw two night herons on the pulpit of the big sailboat tied up outside Horn Point Marina. Also a couple of ospreys fishing.

Flat and smooth out there, just me and Sophie and the chicken neckers. A few rafts of forage fish, a couple of osprey, and plenty of sea nettles.
