The weather was nice, so the kayaks (and the wetsuits) came out today! #kayaking #Patuxent

I went #kayaking today on the very low Rocky Gorge Reservoir (part of the #Patuxent river) near Fulton, Maryland. It was very windy (20-30 km/h with gusts to 40?), and I wouldn't have done it before the recent Scotland trip, where I learned to read the water and respond appropriately. Water temperature was 20 C so not all that threatening.

In March I posted a photo taken near where I took these (#Croom, #Maryland, on the #Patuxent) that was low-tide mud and dead sticks. #Kayaking yesterday in a gentle rain (and a break in the heat) was fantastic. Seasons are amazing. #MarshMadness #kayak

A little #kayaking yesterday near Fulton, Maryland (on the #Patuxent, of course!). Spring is trying to get here!!

#silentsunday #Kayaking #sunset Near Nottingham, Maryland, USA on the #Patuxent river.

Tempting to use #SilentSunday but I can't. #Kayaking on the #Patuxent near Upper Marlboro, #Maryland, USA. It was near high tide so the water was still. The sky was gray to start but it turned into a dazzling sunset.....

@Swede1952 I see ospreys a lot while kayaking (the tidal #Patuxent) in particular. They are beautiful birds and I've learned their calls (and also how much space I need to give their nests to avoid making them nervous).

@ericphelps Where are you? I kayaked on the #Patuxent near Upper Marlboro, Maryland, USA....the trees that still had leaves were gorgeous but most had lost their leaves. High tide so not much current, nice temperatures and low wind. I'll post some photos if I can find the time!

#Kayaking today on the tidal #Patuxent near Croom (and Dunkirk) Maryland, USA. Lots of wind and tide but a beautiful day and a fantastic kayaking experience. Apologies for the wavy horizon on the panoramic photo - the water was moving me around!

@kd4iz I'm at my home shack planning an activation at a park near me. Unfortunately, the #patuxent #riverkeepers park is not listed in the #pota

I did a quick deployment at the #Patuxent #Riverkeeper today. #hamradio #amateurradio

What about a #hamradio special event #WOTA #waterkeepers and #riverkeepers on the air? We could work people on #hf at riverkeeper sites and do #vhf #uhf #aprs via #kayak mobile. I really love to "light up" my local #Patuxent #riverkeepers site.

I'd love to activate the #Patuxent #Riverkeeper http://paxriverkeeper.org/ but it's not a listed as a park. Bummer.
