Log-dodging Day

THURSDAY- We left Solomons Island after a calm morning. At sunrise, Louie and I were visited by a lone white swan. I thought it was an omen and Louis thought it was a curious kind of “duck”.
Soon we were in Chesapeake Bay waters to begin log-dodging. The water was full of debris, wood pieces and logs. The wind began blowing 15-30 mph, kicking up the seas, and it began to rain so Mike steered from above, on the fly bridge, to see and avoid the logs.
At about 6:00 PM, we entered the Severn River toward Annapolis but the wind and rain were getting worse so we pulled into little Ogleton Lake to anchor. The Active Captain review claimed plenty of room and good holding but the trusty Rocna anchor lost its hold in the soft mud bottom twice in the 35mph gusts. As we moved, looking for a more protected spot to anchor with the Fortress anchor, a voice on the radio invited us to tie up at the community face dock. He had seen our struggle with the wind and soft bottom. What a blessing!! We’re still listening to the wind howl but we can sleep well now.

What kind of duck is that?
