Gusty and choppy in the Severn so I rowed up Back Creek as far as Cool Breeze cove past Watergate.

If you are an overtaking vessel under power remember you only have to give way if your autopilot is off. Don't even get me started.
The bare minimum cormorants and seagulls are out this late commuting. One fishing osprey but the rest are on their nests.
Another cruise ship graces our shores. I hailed this one to find out her path. Mostly osprey this morning on their nests.
Okay, I saw one menhaden jump out of the water near Sophie. Otherwise a lovely spring day. Oh also saw a piece of horned pond weed.
Nice row today. Out near #4 a cruise ship tried to sneak up on me but I was awake enough to see it. Same assemblage of osprey, mallards, cormorant, seagull, Canada Geese.
Very choppy on a slacking flood tide. Ospreys, cormorants, and mallards around.
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.
