Went down to the club to see if the O/B would start, but like a total idiot, I forgot to bring the O/B bracket so that wasn't about to happen.  Luckily I "borrowed" a dinghy transom and the motor started, ran well and might be ready for the season. While at the dock, we noticed quite a few Lion's Mane jellyfish.  I went out in a kayak to fish and ended up being distracted by trying to get decent photos of the medusae.  I left the lure dangling a few feet off the bow of the kayak, and of course, that's when a brave pickerel nailed the lure and it was strictly a matter of luck that I did not drop the iPhone into the creek! 

Beautiful spring-like day and the ospreys are back with a vengeance!
