Also, we saw tons of cool wildflowers along the path. Here are some select photos.

After our walk by Offut, we headed down to Lock 7 where we also checked out Little Falls dam. There was a ton of wildlife on the C&O Canal path - great blue herons, night herons, turtles, bass, carp, and ducks (we think blue-winged teals). I got a picture of a great blue and night heron on the same tree and was kicking myself for not bringing my Nikon.

Had a fun walk searching for pawpaws with Chris and Stef this afternoon. We walked out to one of my fav small surf spots by Offut Island and I showed them what pawpaw tree leaves look like and how to spot pawpaws. We found some nice ones that easily fell off the trees, but they aren't ripe enough to eat. We may check again in a week or two. Hopefully, these will ripen in the boat 🤞.

Oh, we all found a spicebush and chewed on a few berries.

Women captains, check out this awesome exhibit at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum through summer 2024:
https://chesapeakebaymagazine.com/her-helm-at-chesapeake-bay-maritime-museum/

#HerHelm is a portrait project that celebrates women making their own way on the waters of the #ChesapeakeBay. In addition to including bios of each captain, the book also includes poems, essays, and artwork.

I love portrait projects and cannot wait to check this out. More info on Kristin Rutkowski's website here: https://www.herhelm.com/

Good morning from the Washington Channel!

That was an amazing trip. Was awesome to spend time in Michigan's UP again. I need to do that more often.

It's always nice to be home, but lots of unpacking and organizing to do today. Since we appear to have a midday break in the storms, I'm also going to go hunting for pawpaws.

Oh my, I'd missed that:

Installed the new CA #DMV electronic license app to test it. Had to change my password because it "expired" (sigh... password expiration is bad; don't do it); the new password rules are bizarre. Make new password, app crashes. Now crashes on every launch.

Why can't they just use the damn first-party #iOS function for this (which also works with the phone locked, and is thus way less irresponsible to actually use with LEO/TSA/etc)‽

9) After the #Motherboard investigation into the California #DMV selling biometric data representatives in the California State Legislature did make moves to stop this practice. While that means something to me it does not mean enough because the information is not secure. After the 2020 report #TechNews did a report on the California DMV being hacked for that data https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/18/california-motor-vehicles-afts-ransomware/
