The wind on the weekends has been a real major pain lately, calm during the week, and then 20+ on the weekends.

I ran an errand this morning, and was planning on hitting the water, but when I went over a drainage ditch, and saw whitecaps, I pretty much knew the plans were going to change.

Well the wind is supposed to lighten up in the afternoon tomorrow, maybe a quicky down Ashville Bridge Creek is in order… I just realized that February was one of those rare times I missed a trip on Ashville Bridge Creek…

Blustery Day in Hampton Roads.

Two primary factors kept me off the water this weekend, 1 was pure laziness, in that I was not going to put the old rack back on my truck when my new rack is on the way and should be here Tuesday (I also had a bunch of little things going on, on Saturday).

Number 2 would be that the wind on Sunday at 7 AM was already blowing a constant 20+ and gusting to 25+ and building with gusts to 50+ in some areas.

This is how things looked on the Elisabeth River at the Jordan Bridge around 11AM..

And this is how things looked on the James River on the Ferry around 4 PM…

Even though I wasn’t able to get out on the water, Nick and I got out and scouted some new launches, that will be added to kayakvb.com in the next couple of days…

Well October came and went with only one trip on the water. All the stars once again aligned against me to keep me off the water, work weather and a cold did to me.

This is getting more then frustrating for me.

The first 2 weekends of November were lost due to an unexpected trip to San Diego…

I really hope that things change soon…

Well everything has pretty much conspired against me from getting on the water this month….

• Changed jobs after 20 years
• Nick started in a bowling league  Saturday mornings
• NFL season started, takes Sunday afternoons out of the picture (Chargers are not looking good)
• Sick one weekend
• Going to Kings  Dominion

Hopefully I will get on the water again before the end of the month, I haven’t even had the kayak rack on my truck for over 2 weeks.

I don’t think I’ll be doing any trips this weekend…

My Daughter graduates High School today, and I have family in town, etc…

Looking at the gages, the water loo0ks a little on the low side, but navigable. The weather looks like it is going to ok, with a slight chance of T-Storms in the afternoon. Tomorrow (Sunday) looks like a real good day, except a little on the hot side with temps in the low 90’s and light winds out of the North..
