To Snode
Creek
 We got up, ready to up anchor at seven
for the thirty five mile journey to Snode Creek. The morning
mist was like a scene from Great Expectations
  As we got going it was
strange that the mist was to the left of us and clear calm
to the right
    We enjoyed the clear morning on
glass flat water, watched by a Cormorant, Old Shoe
settled behind
  Fabulous to watch
our old friend the Osprey land nearby
  A family of
ducks took off as I cleaned the stanchions (fence posts)
 Perfect peace and
tranquility
   Neither fancy
living as remotely as this..............but it broke the scenery up a
bit
 Then a short while later a real treat,
off in the distance - our first wild otters, just for
you Danny
 Our last fixed bridge
before open water
 Out in the sound we saw a trawler
pulling an interesting addition
         Then we watched a Cormorant take off, well after several attempts and a fair
bit of splashing
 Old Shoe settled beside
us for the night
We are now about two hundred miles
away from our start point in Deltaville and if bed wear is a measure of
temperature - it is thankfully getting warmer. We actually managed just a
t-shirt and undies; a massive difference to the hoodie over a hat, PJ
bottoms tucked into socks and the quilt over our heads. Marvelous to be
following the birds south
ALL IN ALL A
GRAND DAY
