There is nest building on #4 and no small irritation at some big oared interloper sniffing around.

Hard going out but almost surfing home. You can see the scrapes on the new buoys from the boats that dragged anchor last week.
Almost turned around to save my fingers from frostbite but then remembered I made a pair of pogies to go on over the oar handles and my hands. After that it was balmy.
Wind blowing straight up Back Creek so I got to surf home from #4 on nice rollers.
Several pairs of blue herons flew overhead.
Wind was screaming through the rigging at Annapolis Sailing School so I went upstream
Waves 1-3' with a 15' period, like a fine day on George's Bank.
Bumpy upstream which turned into nice rollers as we rowed toward the Bay. Heard some geese in the air and still seeing scoters and buffleheads.
Air 32f water 35f but no wind and very comfortable after my fingers warmed up. Out with the buffleheads and surf scooters.
Wavey and foggy. Seemed prudent to quit early. Got to use the rowing compass.
