Moderate temperatures and calm winds yesterday.  A good day to get back on the water!
Unfortunately, the time of day that worked best for me was also dead low tide.Â
In the warmer months, I work around high tide to avoid the bugs.  Not a problem this time of year.Â
However, I mis-calculated water access from my usual launch site, and had to (carefully) drag my kayak across the bay muck. Good news- I didn’t sink in too far, or slip! Won’t do that again 😉
Interesting views at low tide- and a new perspective of bulkheads and boat slips. Don’t tell anyone, but this is the bridge I occasionally scoot under to the adjacent basin. The tide has to be high enough so I can float over the large pipe, low enough so I can duck under the upper pipes, and calm enough for me to maneuver through the maze of pilings!
By the way, I had company yesterday on the bay- a clammer on one of the mud flats along the main channel.

Now that’s dedication to a job!
