The river bottom


Beached on an island for lunch
The water here is clear enough to see the bottom several feet down. This picture is only through several inches, but even that would be impossible on the tidal portion of the Patuxent.

You can see that it's mostly rocks with occasional freshwater oyster shells (there's one to the right of the central yellowish rock). This kind of bottom made me glad that I had put that layer of fiberglass on Johncanoe's bottom before this trip.
