Went out to Grand Lake yesterday and could hardly see through it due to dust & dirt and residue from salt water last month. Had a sheet of paper towel in my pocket so I leaned over and wet it in the lake and then wiped the windshield. Much better but I'll have to start carrying some mild window cleaner with me."

The Donnie He needs a bucket for both wash down and for peeing in. I carry an old antifreeze jug which I cut out an section. Leaves a nice handle. Then you can dip water and wash off the window with lots of water before using a sponge or rag to clean it up. And when you have to pee. You do not have to hang with t over the side and possible fall in and drown. Lots of drown fisherman are found with the zipper down. |

Fiords are glacially created. |

I was thinking about putting a sign at the mouth that says "caution Local knowledge is advised beyond this point" My wife says "I'd turn back if I were you" might be better. |

Gobs of rain. We need rain, just not that much. That is true. In the late winter and spring the salinity runs more like 16-20 PPT. It was .0.27 last Monday. (270 PPM) If I didn't have the new YSI probes, it would have been below the level of measurement. with a hydrometer we used to use. |
