Took the paddle board out in the evening due to poor weather in the morning. 74F, fair, with winds 5 mph from the NW at time of launch (6:30 pm). Always get a kick out of reading where visiting yachts are from while anchored along the inlet (Portland, Maine, Netherlands, Charleston, SC). Cloud cover made for beautiful paddle.

Took the paddle board out for a paddle on Indian River Lagoon. 76F, sunny, with winds 9 mph from the SSE at time of launch on Bear Point Cove (6:20 pm). Saw plenty of fish jumping in the cove as it got a bit buggy. While beautiful, the bugs give me incentive to launch in the morning!
