  • There was a muskrat

Got a quick paddle in with the tide way up high. Went to the backwaters of the creek very quietly and had a muskrat approach the boat to within 5-6 feet and I made a little noise and the critter did an abrupt U-turn and disappeared into the marsh.

MRSA race #2 was our first and there was rust. An OCS, and some flubs on the line-handling end. To be sure, we were shorthanded at six up and folks had to do jobs they haven't done in more than 6 or 7 months.

And yeah, there was rust. :-)
