Yes Stinky, seems that simply spraying the windshield with the hose doesn't perfectly clean it. Add road dirt and dust from the last kilometer into the park launch area and my windshield was noticeably dirty.

"My windshield is glass. 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."

I've thought about that. Most are a bit out of the way and would add a couple of hours to the trip.
That is a great thing about living 3 miles up a brackish river, I get
a free flush fiord about half the year.
Right now there is more salt in my well than the river.



Salty drinking water? Do you filter it out?

Calling the Estero River (creek/marsh) a fjord is a bit of a stretch
IMHO.

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.

Might be a sound, but not a fiord. Fiords are glacially created.

That was just "for" before the spell checker "helped me out"

You are right, this is far from a fjord. 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.

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.
