Sailboats in the fog |
Just like yesterday, the fog rolled in around 6:00 this morning, and
rolled out around 8:00. Today I
decided not to wait, and paddled out into the fog at around 7:00. I headed north along the west side of Ram
Island and stayed close to the shore so I could see where I was going. Visibility was 15 to 20 feet, and
I would sometimes paddle very close to birds before they could even see
me.
By the time I reached the Narrows at Upper Point Judith
Pond, the fog was starting to lift.
I paddled west into Congdon Cove and Smelt Book Cove before crossing
back to Ram Island at Gardner Island. There were a couple of baby osprey in the
nest near Smelt Brook Cove, and a couple of adults hunting nearby. They definitely didn’t like me hanging around.
I paddled back down the east side
of Ram Island to the cottage.
