Default close pass

My daughter, her fiance and I were circling Braun Bay yesterday when I spotted 3 birds off the starboard bow. I slowed to headway speed and we slowly passed them to starboard. Sarah and Brian hadn't seen Loons before so it was nice to be able to see them up close. We passed within 25 feet; they didn't fly away or sound and as we went by one of them called. Just a nice "nature's moment" in a great day on the lake.
