Trip length:
1 day
Type of watercraft:
Kayak/canoe/rowboat
1218 hrs
raft of buffles
1313 hrs - still no wind
1043 hrs - work to do
On the way home my car thermometer read 48 degrees! I'll take it.
Went to the boat on the ostensible purpose of removing the boom to bring home and paint....it really does look shabby. Also needed to chip ice out of the bilges.
But then the kayaks interceded. Got in a great two hour paddle, but again, ice kept me out of my two favorite gunkholes.
Temp: mid 40s - predicted 15-20 breeze never showed up - I'm fine with that!
Gear: bibs, spray top, neoprene gloves until it got warm enough to not need them (yay!)
Critters: huge raft of buffleheads in the river, one sole black duck and one solo bluebird.
Other vessels under weigh: ZERO
