Got down to the water with only minimal problems, most of which centered around the yellow jackets who have established a nest under the side awning of this building. Landlord's been alerted. As for the kayak, it was in fine condition and it only took me a little bit to remember the order of things to inflate. I paddled out to the far end of Snake Island and then realized that I was paddling a little before sunset and had to turn around and go back due west to get home. Did not blind myself but I will be more careful about timing my paddling in future.
Species seen today: oystercatchers, at least one other species of brown wading bird, a white wading bird that I think was an egret, a cormorant, one or two species of gull. Also several kinds of small snail, a greenish crab with a body between the size of a nickel and a quarter, and a moon jelly the size of the palm of my hand.
