Long slow rollers this morning coming... wait, where did all these boats come from? The anchorage was chock full of sailboats I had to thread my way through in the dark. The group was even so far east that I had to swing around them to return to Back Creek from buoy 7. Other than that the usual cormorants and herons overhead at this time of the morning. Once again I was back at the Maritime Museum before the sun came up and the YPs came out.

It was as smooth and calm as I've ever seen it. I rowed out through the sleeping ducks with the heron gliding overhead, only having to dodge a couple of work boats. Managed to dead reckon to my first buoy in almost full darkness.

Got out in the dark this morning. Fishing time for the Blue and the Black Crowned Night Herons. Low rollers with a 2-5 knt breeze. We were back in port long before the YPs came out to play.

Gray and moist and breezy. Wind maybe 10 from the north and waves 0.5' with a 2ft period. Guessing because cbibs Annapolis is offline. There was a flight of ducks running low over the water and higher up at least a couple of great blue heron. A couple of fishing boats working the river and a couple of sport boats in addition to the usual YPs.

Bit of a breeze but quite flat enough in the Severn. Seagulls and a cormorant but not a peep of ospreys. The chatter from the YP yard made up for it.
One stinkpot out of Annapolis Harbor was making slow wide circles through my route, which was a little distracting but okay in the end.

Breezy but calm water. A few seagulls but I didn't hear any osprey. I got out a bit late so I had to dodge three YPs on my route.

The dog was a nuisance, then jumped overboard and tried to swim "away".

Sunny, flat, and almost windless. Scattered fish jumping out of the water. Three YPs heading over to the academy.
