This morning I headed for the creek at the head of the anchorage, hoping to find mergansers, like last year.  Mergansers have been so scarce this year.  I miss the little guys.

Well, I didn’t get very far, when I heard Al calling me on my VHF.  “There are thousands of jellyfish surrounding the boat, so I can’t run the generator.  Let me know if there are jellyfish up at the creek.  We may have to move up there to run the generator.”  So, I continued paddling toward the creek.  It wasn’t long before I was surrounded by jellyfish also. 

 

I called Al to give him the bad news, and told him they’d probably be gone with the tide, which, luckily, they were.  We didn’t want to wind up with these guys clogging our generator intake.

On my way back to the boat I spotted this pair of loons.
