Looks like it’ll be early to mid-May before I can start open water swims in the Patuxent river. A month before Eagleman 70.3?? That’ll work. (please no jellyfish, please no jellyfish)

I’ve seen them on Indian Creek, but never here.

Kinda funny… on any other given day, there’s three dozen or more mallards, black duck, swan, and geese floating at this spot. They are no where to be found today.
