This was from Saturday afternoon. We did not get any birds as we quickly ran out of time due to a delay at the boat ramp with some guy loading a small house boat and no winch(it broke off).

We went again Sunday morning, but there was no wind and the birds only flew until about 8:15 am (when I got in the layout boat).

Joshua got his first bluebill and Dan got 2 bluebills and a common merganzer on his first Florida layout hunt.

BTW Dan, the wind really picked up later in the day, it was really choppy.
