Slept in a bit then took the paddle board out around 8:20 am. 76F, partly cloudy with winds 3 mph from the ENE. Proceeded south on Assawoman canal past Bethany Beach canal, under the Garfield Parkway bridge then past the pond by Turtle Walk community toward Sea Colony. Nice day for a paddle due to no wind and very little current.

Great morning, good routine, time with nature. Even got to see a blue crab in the shallows as I launched the paddle board.
