I gotta get out…

After Saturdays blow fest, gusts to 56 MPH, and even though the initial forecast was only calling for single digit winds, but when I woke actuals were already in the upper teens. I really need to figure out what my issue is with wind keeping me on the shore, I guess I just don’t enjoy fighting it.

Well I think I am just going to have to do some kind of banzai thing one of these days, and get it out of my system. I guess it could be all the other issues in my head, I haven’t been quite right in the head since November, and those who know me, know why.

So to add some color here’s a picture of Nick and Bailey looking at the Northwest River…

Blustery Day in Hampton Roads

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.

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…
