Sounds like a nice week of exploration. I like to follow rivers and
creeks as far up them as possiable. Lots of neat stuff to see and do.

Same here. I enjoy watching the herons, especially the great
blues. Usually we can keep count of how many we see during a
day, this time we totally lost track.



Did you fish, or shoot anything?


Nah, left the critters alone if they left us alone... killed
about a million horse flies one day at a place called Bonner
Bay near the mouth of the river, just off the ICW...
ironically enough this is a highly recommended anchorage in
most cruising guides, it is deep & well sheltered and close
to the ICW... but it's also a haven for big bugs that bite.

I hate horse flys. Masn they can put a hurting on you, make mosquitos
feel pleasent

Years ago I used to do a lot of deer hunting in a place just
north of this area.

I haven't done deer hunting in 15-20 years. I did have to put one down
on the edge of Johnson Space Center bout a year ago. A car hit it, and
tore it's leg in half,luckly I had a 9mm under the truck seat. The
guards at NASA would not come and do it, yet they are the ones who
raise and harbor all the deer around here. One shot at 20+yrds.

We just sailed the bay a bit then anchored in Clearlake close to the
fireworks barge on July 4th.
