Kris and I hit the water at Doran at about 9:45. It was calm and overcast (what else is new?) and we headed for the mouth. We practiced ranging between two channel markers in the stiff flood. We fought a 3 knt current to get out of the harbor. We poked around outside for awhile and then had a nice ride back into the harbor. We saw the usual suspects including an early arriving C.Loon still in full breeding plumage. We paddled all the way around the harbor including a tour of Spud Harbor (which seems emptier than last time). By now there was a 5knt SW wind which had a nice cooling effect. We paddled 8.5 miles by the time we got back to the launch.
We decided to go out to the headlands for lunch since Robin H had told us last weekend that four or five Greys were hanging around the area. Sure enough, no sooner did we get out sandwiches unwrapped than we started spotting them. They appear to be feeding in the area and are quite close to shore.
