The Egg Rock inscription was barely visible late this morning when I began ascending the Assabet River. The rain showers that were forecast never really materialized, and conditions felt more like spring than mid-December.
This pair of Muscovy ducks approached my port side...
After some discussion, they paddled my starboard flank...
Further upriver, I encountered the rest of their tribe and they appeared to be taking the day off...
At Moose Cove, a little upriver from Rt. 2, I turned around and drifted back down to Lowell Road. There I encountered Jeff preparing to paddle his new and very exotic Prijon kayak...
Jeff afforded me the opportunity to experience how little this boat weighs. I have never encountered a kayak weighing less than this one.
Finally, the trash encountered today...
There were 56 pieces: 27 recyclable containers (2 redeemable) and 29 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish such as plastic bags, nip bottles, styrofoam, etc. YTD = 7342
