Notes
Re Total Hardness reading of 200 - given this region on the Napanee is on limestone, the water is historically known for its hardness which is also reflected in drilled wells in the region.
No sign of weeds downriver (yet). The river was almost blocked slightly downstream last Summer for approximately 200 meters.
Amazing number of painted turtles for this time of year and even saw 3 dragonflies (odd for this time of year).
Abnormally hot day for this time of year - normal range is around 10C.
River is still approx. 1.5 feet higher than summer static level and still running faster than normal summer speed.
Abnormal strong winds from the SE all day (normal is either SW or from the NNE).
High degree of beaver activity (cuttings) downstream.
Observed one or two cormorants (yuch!).
