Sunday Jan. 27th - Another great weekend kayaking in the Northern Neck of Virginia.

To begin with this weekend was the first time I used my new drysuit, and it was absolutely incredible. Everyone should have one. More about the suit in the trip reports.

Saturday we trailered the kayaks over to a launch site on the Rappahannock River, near Parrot's Island. We then proceeded to paddle out to the Island, with me hopping over and wading up to my chest, slowly gaining confidence in the drysuit. After walking around the Island we proceeded to paddle over to Norris Bridge, spotting one of the oyster farms submerged in about 3-4 feet of water on the way to the bridge. We then returned to the dock for lunch.

Round two was a paddle up to the cliffs before Bushy Creek. Throughout this paddle I was swimming and wading freely in the river with my dry suit. Even brought my fins out!

After that we went snorkeling in Carter's Creek.

What a great weekend and I recommend anyone doing a decent amount of winter paddling to get a drysuit. Why spend a few hundred dollars on spash gaurd paddle wear, when for a hundred more you gain complete protection with the purchase of a full suit? For the adventurous kayaker in the dead of winter the dry suit is the way to go!

I went to your website. How about adding material to the Northern Neck wikipedia about the natural beauty/kayaking oppurtunities. A list of creeks to paddle etc. Thanks,Mangogirl2 (talk) 08:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
