Kayak Virginia Beach Information Net

Well the whole KayakVB thing started just about a year and a half ago, when I decided to start keeping track of my kayak trips for family and friends back in San Diego. The first trip I posted was a New Years Day trip out to Lake Drummond, in Chesapeake. I still remember that trip, it was a beautiful day, a little crisp in the morning, but warming up to the mid 60’s by the afternoon. There was no wind, and the lake was like glass.

If the weather cooperates this weekend, I may do the trip this Saturday in honor of my 100th trip.

Lake Drummond in January

I just looked at my trip reports, and realized that it has been 2 years since I have been out there..

I knew I was running low on battery power for the camera, but when I got home and was getting ready to download from the camera, it wouldn’t turn on, the battery was completely dead… So it will take a couple of hours for the battery to charge, and then I will upload them to the web…

We did short trip on Milldam Creek today, got a late start.

This was the first time I/we launched from the bridge. The rocks are a bit loose in places so watch your step. This is technically a roadside launch, parking is very limited, not much clearance from the road, and about 60 yards or so to the bridge.

This is from the parking to the launch

I really had to take it easy yesterday, after falling on Friday, and 6 Miles on Saturday, and pain Saturday Night, relaxing on Sunday was the right thing to do…

I guess I jynxed myself, because shorlty after my last post, it seems everyone decided that the Northwest River was the place to be…

A bunch of power boats, anjets skis were cruisong the river…

All in all not a bad trip, 6.2 miles…

I’ll have all the pictures up at KayakVB soon

It was a nice paddel down Smiths Creek, I made it to the Northwest river. A couple of fishermen on the creek, but not much else. Almost no traffic on the river, strange for the first weekend of summer.

A lot more wind on the river then the creek, but not bad…

I think I took way to many pictures of Iris’s again, but they are only here for a ciuple weeks…

I think I may have worked out some of the issuses with the camers, but I won’t know for sure until I upload them…
