there's an eagle in this shot, somewhere
very noisy young osprey cussing out the great blue
found a b-ball, but no hoops and no nets
I need to fabricate a new batten for my flat-top main, but like a real dummy I forgot to measure the batten pocket so I needed a quick trip to the boat equiped with tape measure. Once there and done, I figured, "what the hell, I may as well do a quick paddle."
It was nice to actually JUST paddle, no fishing rod, no VHF, no nothin, just some drinking water as it was hot. But the birds were out for sure. Lots of juvenile osprey, a cute little cattle egret that let me get super close, the obligatory Great Blue and way back in the creek, a Ball Diggle. Enormous wingspan.
Nice day and happy to get to paddle for an hour or two,
