Willard Brook SE, In The (almost) Dim. A break from the recent heat and humidity, and no work on Mom's house that needed to be done tonight, so despite the fact that the responsible thing to do would have been to mow the lawn, I went for a run. No mud, and even Old City Road was dry. Enough light that I was able to get around this without missing any turns, and I managed to turn in my best time to date. A fair number of FDFs out, and no sticky hat, so I dispatched a lot by hand.

Mouth of the Merrimack, with Nancy. Thiis seemed like a reasonable idea, but turned out to be somewhat hairier than we would have liked. Lots of powerboat traffic was the main issue, and I was concerned about our getting run over. We both took on some water when we got hit by a wake in a narrow spot just before going under the drawbridge. Got just about up to the rear range light, but we failed to look up and see it. We changed our minds before heading into the basin, and retreated to paddling around the marinas, which was better.
