Kayaking in the evening is harder when it gets darker earlier

Went out around 5:10 p.m., and the sun had already gone down, since we moved off of Daylight Savings Time last weekend.  No wind, and air temps in the high 60's, which is a gift for November.  No boats out at all, and by the time I returned to our beach 30 minutes later, it was full-on dark.  Such a contrast to kayaking after work all spring, summer, and fall!  Herons were out, and I ran into a whole flock of Canada Geese in the water, so apparently they've not all left the Chesapeake by flying south -- yet.
