Stole away for a couple of hours this afternoon. Paddled the green kayak at the change of tide from Bordentown beach south on the Delaware River to the shipping terminal across from the northern edge of Newbold Island. Pretty cool. 2 monstrous cargo ships were moored there and there was room for at least 2 more. Looked to me like both ships were empty and awaiting to be loaded with scrap metal. They were large piles of rusty scrap metal next to the ships. All of this was dwarfed by the trash dump immediately behind the terminal.

The entire scene was surreal.

I have some snapshots on my phone. The water was muddy and still running high after all of the rain. The switch from low to high tides was about an hour behind schedule. I attribute it to the extra flow from the rains. The water surface was very calm and became glassy as the tide switched. I had the river to myself. The sun came out around 3 pm or so and it got pretty warm.
