Dobbs and I kayaked off Red Point Beach 1.75 miles out onto the Flats. The late afternoon was overcast and calm. Crossing the Northeast River, water clarity/visibility was about two feet. On the Flats, we turned around a half-mile shy of my summer snorkeling waypoints with no sign of improved water clarity. Seagulls floated in flocks. We heard "coo-hoos" in the distance, the call of tundra swans, I think.
