Notes

Past 24 hours have been very windy and rainy. Currently sunny with medium winds. Lots of Canada Geese and ducks on the water and in the air. Dock had been shortened to just 1 section for winter so depth will show much differently than today in the other 3 seasons when 2 other sections are added. Picked up some Tim's coffee cups and other garbage and put into cans nearby.
