Wonderful time family kayaking in Vermont
Today’s adventure took Jeff, his sister Janet, and our nephew Jason and myself to Knapp Pond 2. Temps in the 70’s after a day of rain. Beautiful light breezes awaited us. A fantastic time was had by all!

Splendid two trips to Knapp Ponds 1&2 in Reading and Cavendish VT. First trip was with our nephew and our second venture included our nephew and nieces. Family is everything. Life is good and we are living it to its fullest during Covid.

Halfway to goal kayaking on Abel Reservoir
Today we reached a milestone I wasn’t sure we would make given Covid, but here we are celebrating day 50 on the water! Went to our favorite local water hole, Abel Reservoir for an enjoyable and peaceful kayaking trip.

Kayaking on Abel Reservoir
Being forwarned that it would be very hot and humid, we opted to get out on the water early. With that being said, we went to our favorite “go to” close to home. It was overcast for most part and when the sun popped out, we had plenty of shade along the shoreline. Another great day on the water!

Stuck on the rocks in the Rappahannock River
Today’s adventure took place at Mott’s Landing on the Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg. Sunny, hot, and humid greeted us on our daily kayaking paddle. Another slice of the Rappahannock where it’s easy to get stuck on rocks.

On the Shenandoah River
Today’s adventure took us to Andy Guest Shenandoah River State Park for a paddle on the south fork of the river. Very strong current had Barb bailing out early, but Jeff perservered.

Kayaking on Abel Lake
A moment of zen on the water
We went to Abel Reservoir this morning and it was only 72 at 9:30A. It was still overcast, not all the fog had burned off so it was perfect for more in depth exploring of the lake. Though we have thoroughly enjoyed the sections of the lake we have paddled before, it was a whole new world we paddled through today. Absolutely breathtaking!

Kayaking at Little Falls Run
Today’s adventure had us out early this morning because of the heat. We paddled at Little Falls Run on the Rappahannock River just south of Fredericksburg in Stafford County. Nice and quiet as we had it all to ourselves. A father and son arrived with a large canoe as we were finishing up lashing our kayaks on top of our Escape.
