Messing about in Gasport

We couln't fit under, so we went home. It was time anyway.	Fall colors still subtle. There is some color but still not much.

    21 Sept. 02: We put in at Gasport Marina, where there is a tiny public boat launch ramp. First we went downstream, with the wind, for about 45 minutes, then turned around and fought the wind back to the marina and beyond to the Gasport Lift Bridge. We knew from previous experience that this bridge has only a few feet of space under the girders when in the down position. That was the case. Last spring, we couldn't even fit the skiff under with both of us prone. It was fun to try, though. The weather threatened rain all morning and on the way, but the time on the water was dry, though the sky was darkish. It was cooler, too. Yesterday topped out above 80 degrees. Today was noticeably cooler. I expected to see more fall color than last week, but the change was subtle, and I don't know if the pix I took show the difference. There was a boatload of Nautical ... Ironical stuff.
