My least favorite time of year -- putting Calypso to bed for the winter. Stripping stuff off, clearing stuff away, cleaning up.

A nice calm day for a Heron ride. Swung by the Rhode River to say hello to friends rafted up there (Whisper, Arcturus, Timeless) and then on to Stan & Joe's. On the way back, we pulled a Melges 24 off the shallows after they'd grounded themselves soundly. Good deed done.

M R Geese. I guess the ducks have flown south, while the geese are waiting for a runway to open. Or maybe they're staying. I don't know from migratory waterfowl.

Waterfront trees are still predominantly green, save some tenacious yellows, oranges and reds. Breezy paddle on the creek today.

Back from California and Illinois, welcomed by blustery weather. Finally nice today, albeit breezy. Creek crawl.

A month before last year's pace, but I made it.
A calm, still day. Creek full of jellyfish and fallen leaves.

Not one of ours, but we celebrated Brett with a raftup at Gibson Island. Perfect sailing on the way there -- we were doing 8.3 knots through the 6-knot channel into the Magothy River. Not so much on the way home.
