More blue skies

Another glorious day!

The Potomac is getting low, this is about 2.7.

But blue skies and 83 degrees is all-in-all pretty nice.

There was one nice kayaker at the Maryland Chute who asked if I was OK after I immediately flipped in the hole :) — it was a nice day to take a quick swim.

I was fine and thanked him for checking in before I paddled back up and surfed across as I’d intended to the first time. With the water being a little low, the hole is getting a little more sticky.

Then I portaged a bit in the Center Chute and paddled up the gorge on a very pretty day.

I portaged a bit at Wet Bottom and got up to Rocky Island and then I was getting hungry for lunch and headed back down.

On my way back, I ran into a middle-school? class on SUPs at the Maryland Chute — they, too, seemed to be having a fine day.
