  • Prepping for tropical storm

Got Mel out of the slip briefly, but major reason for coming out today was to prep the boat for the tropical storm. Doubled up the lines, took some canvas down and adjusted and added fenders. This beautiful lady is ready for what Isaieas May bring

  • Kayaking on the James River

We had heard there was a bass tournament at Abel Lake and two other local yakking venues so it was time to have an adventure. .after searching our Virginia State Park guide, we decided to drive to Goochland, VA and kayak on the James River. Powhatan State Park is one of the newer state parks and it’s beautiful! We had a wonderful time yakking there and we’ Go back and we’ll do a public launch site on the James River we saw about 10 minutes away from Powhatan.

Number of days:
4 days

We just finished spending four days on the Bay aboard our beautiful Melanna. We had a few maintenance issues to work on during this stint on the Bay. We had a hard time getting out of the slip and Jeff determined the prop had to be fouled. Wouldn’t you know it, he forgot to bring a pair of swim trunks back out to the boat, so dive he did in clothes and cleaned the prop well enough to continue sailing.
Had a day of motoring too because there wasn’t any wind, but that was ok because at least we were out of the slip!
