My afterwork jaunt from Pope's Landing in Danvers out to Salem Willows was a nice way to wrap up a long day. Heading downriver, against an incoming tide, provided a good little workout. Wildlife was plentiful and included gulls, Canda geese, mute swans, buffleheads, loons, and eider ducks.
Hard to believe it is February 15th and I was paddling without gloves for most of the time.
Other boats were very few, only two, and the Salem Willows looked pretty much deserted (photo at left).
Looking seaward, saw a lone kayaker heading out, and a loon electing not to follow...
My trip back up the Danvers River was on a mirror-like surface...
Further up, the sun finally broke through the clouds and lit the eastern shore...
Trash was few and far between and included plastic bags, plastic bottles, and my first-ever toupee...
YTD = 741
